securetty_types(5) SELinux configuration securetty_types(5)NAME
securetty_types - The SELinux secure tty type configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The securetty_types file contains a list of types associated to secure tty type that are defined in the policy for use by SELinux-aware
applications.
selinux_securetty_types_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default securetty types file is:
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/securetty_types
Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).
selinux_check_securetty_context(3) reads this file to determine if a context is for a secure tty defined in the active policy.
SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) use this information to check the status of a tty.
FILE FORMAT
Each line in the file consists of the following entry:
type
One or more type entries that are defined in the policy for secure tty devices.
EXAMPLE
# ./contexts/securetty_types
sysadm_tty_device_t
user_tty_device_t
staff_tty_device_t

customizable_types(5) SELinux configuration customizable_types(5)NAME
customizable_types - The SELinux customizable types configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
The customizable_types file contains a list of types that can be customised in some way by SELinux-aware applications.
Generally this is a file context type that is usually set on files that need to be shared among certain domains and where the administrator
wants to manually manage the type.
The use of customizable types is deprecated as the preferred approach is to use semanage fcontext ... (8). However, SELinux-aware appli-
cations such as setfiles(8) will use this information to obtain a list of types relating to files that should not be relabeled.
selinux_customizable_types_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default customizable types file is:
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/customizable_types
Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).
is_context_customizable(3) reads this file to determine if a context is customisable or not for the active policy.
FILE FORMAT
Each line in the file consists of the following:
type
Where:
type
The type defined in the policy that can be customised.
EXAMPLE
# ./contexts/customizable_types
mount_loopback_t
public_content_rw_t
public_content_t
swapfile_t
sysadm_untrusted_content_t

Is it possible to export your saved profiles in F-secure. I have looked in F-secure's documentation, on google, here, and other places and can't seem to figure out how to do it.
It seems like such a simple task... (0 Replies)
Hi Guys,
I'd like to know your opinion. A friend of mine claims, an open source OS like linux is more secure than a closed one like AIX because 'if he is hacked, he can do countermeasures'.
I believe the opposite is the case - it's more secure if not everybody knows the kernel and is able to... (6 Replies)
Hello everyone. I'm a newbie and this is my first post, and I'm hoping to get some help understanding what happened on my server. I did as much research as I could, but now I turn to the forums for help :)

Hello All,
Just FYI please about GHOST glibc Security Vulnerability(not sure if this is posted already) which may help us to secure our systems.
Following are the 2 links on same too from Redhat side.
