    Can you please elaborate which process you are trying to protect from kill -9? Is it a PIM process or another process?

    To protect a process from being "killed", i.e. receiving the SIGKILL signal please confirm in seos.ini default value of kill_signal_mask is set

    Then submit this selang rule to e.g. protect the portmap daemon

     

    AC> er process /sbin/portmap owner(nobody) defaccess(none) audit(all)

     

    Confirm the rule is effective by trying to kill the process

    [root@RH ~]# killall -s SIGTERM portmap

    portmap(5614): Operation not permitted

    portmap: no process killed

     

    Note that by default only SIGKILL | SIGSTOP | SIGTERM signals are protected

    Other signals, such as SIGHUP or SIGUSR1 are passed to the process that they target, and that process decides whether to ignore the signal or to react on it
