DESCRIPTION¶

Use sepolicy generate to generate an SELinux policy Module.

sepolicy generate will create 5 files.

When specifying a confined application you must specify a path. sepolicy generate will use the rpm payload of the application along with nm -D APPLICATION to help it generate types and policy rules for your policy files.

NAME.te
This file can be used to define all the types enforcement rules for a particular domain.

Note: Policy generated by sepolicy generate will automatically add a permissive DOMAIN to your .te file. When you are satisfied that your policy works, you need to remove the permissive line from the .te file to run your domain in enforcing mode.

NAME.if
This file defines the interfaces for the types generated in the .te file, which can be used by other policy domains.

NAME.fc
This file defines the default file context for the system, it takes the file types created in the .te file and associates file paths to the types. Tools like restorecon and RPM will use these paths to put down labels.

NAME_selinux.spec
This file is an RPM SPEC file that can be used to install the SELinux policy on to machines and setup the labeling. The spec file also installs the interface file and a man page describing the policy. You can use sepolicy manpage -d NAME to generate the man page.

NAME.sh
This is a helper shell script to compile, install and fix the labeling on your test system. It will also generate a man page based on the installed policy, and compile and build an RPM suitable to be installed on other machines.
