NAME
dconf - A configuration systen DESCRIPTION
dconf is a simple key/value storage system that is heavily optimised for reading. This makes it an ideal system for storing user preferences (which are read 1000s of times for each time the user changes one). It was created with this usecase in mind. All preferences are stored in a single large binary file. Layering of preferences is possible using multiple files (ie: for site defaults). Lock-down is also supported. The binary file for the defaults can optionally be compiled from a set of plain text keyfiles. dconf has a partial client/server architecture. It uses D-Bus. The server is only involved in writes (and is not activated in the user session until the user modifies a preference). The service is stateless and can exit freely at any time (and is therefore robust against crashes). The list of paths that each process is watching is stored within the D-Bus daemon itself (as D-Bus signal match rules). Reads are performed by direct access (via mmap) to the on-disk database which is essentially a hashtable. For this reason, dconf reads typically involve zero system calls and are comparable to a hashtable lookup in terms of speed. Practically speaking, in simple non-layered setups, dconf is less than 10 times slower than GHashTable. Writes are assumed only to happen in response to explicit user interaction (like clicking on a checkbox in a preferences dialog) and are therefore not optimised at all. On some file systems, dconf-service will call fsync() for every write, which can introduce a latency of up to 100ms. This latency is hidden by the client libraries through a clever "fast" mechanism that records the outstanding changes locally (so they can be read back immediately) until the service signals that a write has completed. PORTABILITY
dconf mostly targets Free Software operating systems. It will theoretically run on Mac OS but there isn't much point to that (since Mac OS applications want to store preferences in plist files). It is not possible to use dconf on Windows because of the inability to rename over a file that's still in use (which is what the dconf-service does on every write). API STABILITY
The dconf API is not particularly friendly, and is not guaranteed to be stable. Because of this and the lack of portability, you almost certainly want to use some sort of wrapper API around it. The wrapper API used by GTK+ and GNOME applications is GSettings[1], which is included as part of GLib. GSettings has backends for Windows (using the registry) and Mac OS (using property lists) as well as its dconf backend and is the proper API to use for graphical applications. SEE ALSO

NAME
xguest_gkeyringd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the xguest_gkeyringd processes DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the xguest_gkeyringd processes via flexible mandatory access control. The xguest_gkeyringd processes execute with the xguest_gkeyringd_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe- cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep xguest_gkeyringd_t ENTRYPOINTS
The xguest_gkeyringd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gkeyringd_exec_t file type. The default entrypoint paths for the xguest_gkeyringd_t domain are the following: /usr/bin/mate-keyring-daemon, /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux xguest_gkeyringd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their xguest_gkeyringd processes in as secure a method as possible. The following process types are defined for xguest_gkeyringd: xguest_gkeyringd_t Note: semanage permissive -a xguest_gkeyringd_t can be used to make the process type xguest_gkeyringd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. xguest_gkeyringd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run xguest_gkeyringd with the tightest access possible. If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo- gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by default. setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default. setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default. setsebool -P fips_mode 1 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P global_ssp 1 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default. setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P nis_enabled 1 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default. setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1 If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1 If you want to support fusefs home directories, you must turn on the use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1 NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server for the xguest_gkeyringd_t, you must turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the xguest_gkeyringd_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1 MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type xguest_gkeyringd_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions. cache_home_t /root/.cache(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.nv(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.cache(/.*)? cifs_t config_home_t /root/.kde(/.*)? /root/.xine(/.*)? /root/.config(/.*)? /var/run/user/[^/]*/dconf(/.*)? /root/.Xdefaults /home/[^/]*/.kde(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.xine(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.config(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.cache/dconf(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.Xdefaults ecryptfs_t /home/[^/]*/.Private(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.ecryptfs(/.*)? fusefs_t /var/run/[^/]*/gvfs gkeyringd_gnome_home_t /root/.gnome2/keyrings(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.gnome2/keyrings(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.local/share/keyrings(/.*)? nfs_t COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings. semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive. semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules. semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
