# fapolicyd.trust(5)

fapolicyd's file of trust

## NAME

fapolicyd.trust - fapolicyd's file of trust

## DESCRIPTION

The file */etc/fapolicyd/fapolicyd.trust* contains list of trusted files/binaries for the application whitelisting daemon. You may add comments to the file by starting the line with a '#' character. Each line has to contain three columns and space is a valid separator. The first column contains full path to the file, the second is size of the file in bytes and the third is valid sha256 hash.

The directory */etc/fapolicyd/trust.d* can be used to store multiple trust files. This way a privileged user can split the trust database into multiple files and manage them separately through **fapolicyd-cli**. Functionally, the fapolicy daemon will behave the same way as if the whole trust database has been defined inside **fapolicyd.trust** file. Syntax and semantics of trust files inside **trust.d** directory are the same as for **fapolicyd.trust** file (described above). Trust files can either be created manually inside **trust.d** directory or via **fapolicyd-cli** (the latter option is recommended).

## EXAMPLE

```
[root@Desktop ~]# cat /etc/fapolicyd/fapolicyd.trust
/home/user/my-ls 157984 61a9960bf7d255a85811f4afcac51067b8f2e4c75e21cf4f2af95319d4ed1b87
