1 | If you want to use SELinux, chances are you will want | ||
2 | to use the distro-provided policies, or install the | ||
3 | latest reference policy release from | ||
4 | http://oss.tresys.com/projects/refpolicy | ||
5 | |||
6 | However, if you want to install a dummy policy for | ||
7 | testing, you can do using 'mdp' provided under | ||
8 | scripts/selinux. Note that this requires the selinux | ||
9 | userspace to be installed - in particular you will | ||
10 | need checkpolicy to compile a kernel, and setfiles and | ||
11 | fixfiles to label the filesystem. | ||
12 | |||
13 | 1. Compile the kernel with selinux enabled. | ||
14 | 2. Type 'make' to compile mdp. | ||
15 | 3. Make sure that you are not running with | ||
16 | SELinux enabled and a real policy. If | ||
17 | you are, reboot with selinux disabled | ||
18 | before continuing. | ||
19 | 4. Run install_policy.sh: | ||
20 | cd scripts/selinux | ||
21 | sh install_policy.sh | ||
22 | |||
23 | Step 4 will create a new dummy policy valid for your | ||
24 | kernel, with a single selinux user, role, and type. | ||
25 | It will compile the policy, will set your SELINUXTYPE to | ||
26 | dummy in /etc/selinux/config, install the compiled policy | ||
27 | as 'dummy', and relabel your filesystem. | ||
