NAME

sechecker - SELinux policy checking tool

SYNOPSIS

sechecker [OPTIONS] -m module Run module

sechecker [OPTIONS] -p profile Run profile

sechecker [OPTIONS] -m module -p profile Run module with profile

Description

This manual page describes the sechecker command.

sechecker allows the user to perform predefined modular checks on a SELinux policy. Profiles exist to group modules together and allow modification of module settings (see below).

OPTIONS

Tag	Description
-l, --list	print a list of profiles and modules
-q, --quiet	suppress output
-s, --short	print short output
-v, --verbose	print verbose output
--version	print version and exit
--fcfile=<file>	file_contexts file
--policy=<file>	policy file
-h[mod], --help[=module]	print general help or help for a module
-m <mod>, --module=<mod>	module name
-p <prof>, --profile=<prof>	profile name or path
--min-sev=<low|med|high>	the minimum severity to report

PROFILE OPTIONS

Profiles are used to group modules together, to specify the output format for each module in the report, and to provide the ability to override the modules’ default options. Each profile is a well-formed XML document, as specified by the DTD installed with sechecker. An example profile follows:

<sechecker version="1.1">

        <profile>

                <module name="find_domains">

                        <output value="quiet"/>

                        <option name="domain_attribute">

                                <item value="domain"/>

                                <item value="user_domain"/>

                                ...

                        </option>

                </module>

                ...

        </profile>

</sechecker>

The example profile specifies the output property for the find_domains module. The valid output values for each module are specified below:

Tag	Description
verbose:	prints each result in the report with an accompanying proof
short:	prints a list of results without an accompanying proof
none:	does not print output in the report, however module errors will be printed
quiet:	does not print output in the report and does not print errors, (this is usefull for utility modules for which the calling module handles the errors)

The example profile also overrides the default value for the "domain_attribute" option in the find_domains module.
