Chapter 8. Ancillary Policy Statements

     

The most important SELinux policy statement types ”role-based access control and type enforcement statements ”were explained in the two preceding chapters. However, a typical SELinux policy contains several other statement types that the administrator of an SELinux system may want to understand. This chapter explains these statement types, including constraint declarations, context-related declarations, and Flask- related declarations. Most administrators will seldom need to refer to the material in this chapter, since these statement types are primarily important to SELinux developers rather than SELinux system administrators. However, occasionally a policy modification will fail because it violates a policy constraint. At these times, an understanding of policy constraint declarations is helpful.
