1. Review: Configuration Files Generally Located in /etc Under the Root Directory#
Configuration files are generally located in /etc under the root directory.
A user can only have one primary group, but can have multiple supplementary groups; the permissions enjoyed are the same, as they are based on the permissions of that group.
Example
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@sanchuang-linux ~]# useradd sanle10
[root@sanchuang-linux ~]# id sanle10

2. Exercises#
2.1#
Question 1
Create three users sx1, sx2, sx3, all of whom belong to the sanle group as a supplementary group. Create a directory named /home/sanle, where the three users can collaborate on file processing. Properly modify the permissions of this directory to allow only the users and the group to access, delete, and create files in this directory, while other users have no permissions. The files created by the three users should only be deletable by themselves, and they should not be able to delete each other's files. Additionally, newly created files should automatically be assigned to the sanle group ownership.
Example

3. Using ACL#
ACL (Access Control List) # Note: Access Control List (specifies who can/cannot access)
- An access control list for a file/directory can assign rwx permissions to any specified user/group.
Setting ACL: setfacl command
- Format:
setfacl options rules file
Common options
-m
: Add or modify rules in the ACL-b
: Remove all ACL rules-x
: Remove specified ACL rules
Viewing ACL: getfacl command
- Format:
getfacl file
Setting ACL: setfacl command
- Format:
setfacl options rules file
Common rules
- Format:
type: specific user or group: permissions
user:(uid/name):(perms)
Specify permissions for a specific usergroup:(gid/name):(perms)
Specify permissions for a specific groupother::(perms)
Specify permissions for other usersmask::(perms)
Set the effective maximum permissions
Note
- user, group, other, mask are abbreviated as: u, g, o, m
- perms use rwx
Note: ACL access control lists are common in work and cloud computing.#
Example 1: View file ACL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Note: Precise control over permissions
[root@localhost ~]# getfacl win-utf-2.txt # Note: View file ACL rules
# file: win-utf-2.txt # Note: Get file ACL
# owner: root # Note: Initial rules
# group: root
user::rw-
group::r--
other::r--
[root@localhost ~]# ls -la win-utf-2.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct 27 11:42 win-utf-2.txt
[root@localhost ~]#
===============================================================================
Example 2: Grant read, write, and execute permissions to user sanchuang
# Note: For a specific user
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost ~]# setfacl -m u:sanchuang:rwx win-utf-2.txt # Note: Grant rwx permissions to user sanchuang
[root@localhost ~]# getfacl win-utf-2.txt # Note: u can also be written as user, generally abbreviated
# file: win-utf-2.txt # Note: Ordinary users do not have operation permissions on the /root directory
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:sanchuang:rwx # Note: Grant rwx permissions to user sanchuang
group::r--
mask::rwx
other::r--
[root@localhost ~]# ls -la win-utf-2.txt # Note: Permissions have a +
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 root root 0 Oct 27 11:42 win-utf-2.txt
===============================================================================
Example 3: Grant read, write, and execute permissions to a group
# Note: For a specific group
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost ~]# setfacl -m g:sanchuang5:rw win-utf-2.txt
[root@localhost ~]# ls -la win-utf-2.txt # Note: Set file ACL
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 root root 0 Oct 27 11:42 win-utf-2.txt
[root@localhost ~]# getfacl win-utf-2.txt
# file: win-utf-2.txt
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:sanchuang:rwx
group::r--
group:sanchuang5:rw- # Note: Grant read, write, and execute permissions to the group
mask::rwx
other::r--
===============================================================================
Example 4: Set effective maximum permissions
# Note: Set effective permissions for mask
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Note: Set effective maximum permissions to r
# Note: The permissions set are below the mask (ceiling)
[root@localhost ~]# setfacl -m m::r win-utf-2.txt # Note: Set effective maximum permissions
[root@localhost ~]# getfacl win-utf-2.txt
# file: win-utf-2.txt
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:sanchuang:rwx # effective:r-- # Note: Even if sanchuang has rw permissions, the effective maximum permission is r
group::r--
group:sanchuang5:rw- # effective:r--
mask::r--
other::r--
# Note: After specifying the effective maximum permissions; even if user sanchuang has read and write permissions, user sanchuang5's maximum permission is only read
# Note: Even if user sanchuang has rw permissions, if the mask is set to r, only r permissions apply.
4. Types of ACL#
Types of ACL
- Access ACL: For files or directories
- Default ACL: Only for directories
Default ACL
- Format:
setfacl –m default:type:specific user or group:permissions
setfacl –m d:type:specific user or group:permissions
- A directory with a default ACL will have all files or subdirectories under it inherit the ACL permissions of the parent directory, and subdirectories will also have the default ACL permissions.
Note: Default ACLs can only be set for directories.#
Example: Set default ACL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# mkdir cc_test
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# getfacl cc_test/
# file: cc_test/
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::r-x
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# setfacl -m d:u:sanle10:rw cc_test/ # Note: Set default ACL for files
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# getfacl cc_test/
# file: cc_test/
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::r-x
default:user::rwx # Note: New parameter
default:user:sanle10:rw-
default:group::r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# cd cc_test/
[root@sanchuang-linux cc_test]# touch aa # Note: Newly created files will inherit the default ACL settings
[root@sanchuang-linux cc_test]# getfacl aa
# file: aa
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:sanle10:rw- # Note: Newly created files will inherit the default ACL settings
group::r-x # effective:r--
mask::rw-
other::r--
# Note: Files created before the default ACL is set will not inherit the default ACL settings.
5. Exercises#
-
Create three groups: shuiguo, mifeng, shaokao.
-
Create three users: pingguo belongs to the shuiguo group, jingshi belongs to the mifen group, yueyang belongs to the shaokao group.
-
Create a directory named food under the root directory and copy the /etc/passwd file into the food directory.
-
Set permissions so that the passwd file can be read and written by the shuiguo group, the jingshi user can read, write, and execute, and the yueyang user cannot perform any operations.
Example
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# groupadd shuiguo
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# groupadd mifen
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# groupadd shaokao
#2
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# useradd -g shuiguo pingguo
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# useradd -g mifen jingshi
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# useradd -g shaokao yueyang
#3
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# mkdir /food
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# cp /etc/passwd /food
[root@sanchuang-linux lianxi]# cd /food
#4
[root@sanchuang-linux food]# setfacl -m g:shuiguo:rw passwd
[root@sanchuang-linux food]# setfacl -m u:jingshi:rwx passwd
[root@sanchuang-linux food]# setfacl -m u:yueyang:--- passwd # Note: No permissions
[root@sanchuang-linux food]# getfacl passwd
# file: passwd
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:jingshi:rwx
user:yueyang:---
group::r--
group:shuiguo:rw-
mask::rwx
other::r--
6. Inheritance and Denial of Permissions#
A user belonging to a group inherits the permissions of that group.
- Primary group
- Secondary group
The primary group (effective group) of a user belongs to a group and inherits the permissions of that group. If a supplementary group belongs to a group, it will also inherit.
- newgrp
Denial of permissions takes precedence over everything ---》 for users.
If one group allows and another group denies ---》 allow.
7. sudo Authorization#
sudo Authorization
-
The root user has the highest permissions in Linux.
Shutdown, restart the system, configure IP addresses, format disks, mount, etc.
-
Ordinary users have very limited permissions.
-
How to give ordinary users certain permissions?
Share the burden with the root user.
-
If authorization is possible, is it given to users or groups?
Note: sudo grants certain ordinary users the ability to execute commands as the root user.#
Note: sudo --> grants ordinary users the ability to execute commands.#
Note: sudo configuration file /etc/sudoers#
# Note: There is a log file that records all commands executed by authorized users /var/log/secure
Note: The first ALL indicates permission for any terminal or machine to access sudo, generally indicating the local machine.#
Note: The second ALL indicates that the sudo command can be executed as any user.#
Note: The third ALL indicates that any command can be executed.#
Authorization logs: There is a log file that records all commands executed by authorized users /var/log/secure
View logs to know the execution status of authorized commands.
[root@cali ~]# tailf /var/log/secure
Example 1: Generate a random password
# Note: Tool to generate random passwords mkpasswd

===============================================================================
Example 2: sudo configuration file /etc/sudoers
# Note: Authorize certain users to execute certain commands
# Note: Edit /etc/sudoers for authorization and verification
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@sanchuang-linux bin]# less /etc/sudoers
………………
## Syntax:
##
## user MACHINE=COMMANDS ………………
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL # Note: ALL indicates the current machine
# Note: 1. Allows the root user to execute this command; 2. ALL indicates the current host, (ALL) indicates which user permissions are allowed; 3. ALL indicates all commands (any user command can be executed on this machine).
# Note: The first ALL indicates permission for any terminal or machine to access sudo, generally indicating the local machine.
# Note: The second ALL indicates that the sudo command can be executed as any user.
# Note: The third ALL indicates that any command can be executed.
===============================================================================
Example 3: Edit the configuration file /etc/sudoers to grant permissions to users
# Note: You can use vim to edit the configuration file or use visudo without specifying a filename.
# Note: It is recommended to use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers as it checks syntax; vim does not check syntax.
# Note: For user sanle, all permissions on the local host.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@sanchuang-linux bin]# visudo # Note: Use visudo without specifying a filename
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
sanle ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Note: Indicates that the sanle user can execute any command of any user on this host, but when using sudo, the sanle user's password is required.
# Note: Not setting NOPASSWD means that after entering the password for the first time, the password has a validity period.
[root@sanchuang-linux bin]# su - sanle # Note: Switch to the sanle user
[sanle@sanchuang-linux ~]$ sudo passwd wy # Note: With sudo, can perform any operation
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator.
It boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type (consequences and risks).
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
[sudo] sanle's password: # Note: Enter the sanle user's password
[root@sanchuang-linux bin]# visudo
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
sanle ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
# Note: Indicates that the sanle user can execute any command of any user on this host without entering the sanle user's password.
[sanle@sanchuang-linux ~]$ sudo passwd wy
Changing the password for user wy.
New password: # Note: No need to verify the original password.
===============================================================================
Example 4: Grant permissions to users/groups
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@sanchuang-linux bin]# visudo
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
sanle ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
# Note: Indicates that the sanle user can execute any command of any user on this host without entering the sanle user's password.
%sanchuang5 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
# Note: Indicates that users in the sanchuang5 group can execute any command of any user on this host without entering a password.
# Note: Granting all users in the sanchuang5 group permission to execute any command as any user.
# Note: All members of the group will also have this permission.
===============================================================================
Example 5: Authorize specific commands
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[sanle@sanchuang-linux ~]$ which chown

Is SELinux widely used in enterprises?
.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is SELinux?
- SELinux is a security subsystem in Linux systems designed to enhance the overall security level of Linux. It is a type of access control system that restricts processes to only access the files they need for their tasks (controlling which processes can access which allowed resources).
- There are two types of access control in operating systems: Discretionary Access Control (DAC) and Mandatory Access Control (MAC).
- Standard Linux security is a form of DAC, while SELinux adds a flexible and configurable MAC to Linux.
- DAC (Discretionary Access Control)
- How it works:
- MAC (Mandatory Access Control) ---》 selinux
- How it works:
- Which processes can access which types of files are governed by security policies.
Permanent modification
# Note: This is a link file /etc/sysconfig/selinux -> /etc/selinux/config
[root@cali log]# vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux
SELINUX=disabled

- Process control: Controls which processes can access which files, as it classifies processes and files, establishing policies that dictate which types of processes can operate on which types of files.
- Services cannot access exceptions --》 cannot access through the network.
- 1. Consider whether the iptables firewall is enabled.
- 2. Consider whether the SELinux security mechanism is enabled.
- iptables is the outer layer of the security policy firewall.
- SELinux is the internal security policy mechanism firewall in Linux.

Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a Linux kernel module and a security subsystem of Linux.
The role of SELinux
The main role of SELinux is to minimize the resources that service processes can access in the system (principle of least privilege).
DAC:
In operating systems without SELinux, the factor determining whether a resource can be accessed is whether a user has the corresponding permissions (read, write, execute) for that resource.
This permission management mechanism is user-centric and is called Discretionary Access Control (DAC).
MAC:
In operating systems with SELinux, determining whether a resource can be accessed involves not only the above factors but also whether each type of process has access permissions for a certain type of resource.
This permission management mechanism is process-centric and is called Mandatory Access Control (MAC).
By default, SELinux is in a disabled state (disable) and service access is generally restricted by SELinux settings.
Example: Temporary modification
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Note: Temporary modification will be invalid after reboot.
# Note: Temporary configuration will be invalid after reboot.
# Note: 0 --》Permissive mode
# Note: 1 --》Enforcing mode
[root@sanchuang-linux ~]# getenforce # Note: Get the current SELinux mode.
Disabled
[root@sanchuang-linux ~]# setenforce 0 # Note: 0 for permissive mode Temporary effect.
setenforce: SELinux is disabled
[root@sanchuang-linux ~]# setenforce 1 # Note: 1 for enforcing mode (must adhere to SELinux rules).
setenforce: SELinux is disabled
# Note: 0|1 Permissive|Enforcing Permissive mode|Enforcing mode
=============================================================================================
Example: Permanent effect by modifying configuration files
# Note: Configuration file: /etc/selinux/config
[root@sanchuang-linux ~]# vim /etc/selinux/config
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled # Note: Specify the working mode.
# Note: After modification, it takes effect after restarting the computer.
