6 mailman_queue_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mail‐
7 man_queue processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_queue processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The mailman_queue processes execute with the mailman_queue_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep mailman_queue_t
20
21
22
24 The mailman_queue_t SELinux type can be entered via the mail‐
25 man_queue_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_queue_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman.*/cron/.*,
31 /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/qrunner
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 mailman_queue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 mailman_queue processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for mailman_queue:
44
45 mailman_queue_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_queue_t can be used to make the
48 process type mailman_queue_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
49 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mail‐
55 man_queue policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_queue with the
57 tightest access possible.

61 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
62 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
63 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

147
148

151 The SELinux process type mailman_queue_t can manage files labeled with
152 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
153 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
154 missions.
155

157
158 /var/log/btmp.*
159 /var/log/faillog.*
160 /var/log/tallylog.*
161 /var/run/faillock(/.*)?
162

191 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
192 type.
193
194 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
195
196 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
197 SELinux mailman_queue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
198 their mailman_queue processes in as secure a method as possible.
199
200 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
201
202 SELinux defines the file context types for the mailman_queue, if you
203 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
204 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
205 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
206
207 semanage fcontext -a -t mailman_queue_tmp_t '/srv/mymailman_queue_con‐
208 tent(/.*)?'
209 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_queue_content
210
211 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
212 match multiple files.
213
214 The following file types are defined for mailman_queue:
215
216
217
218 mailman_queue_exec_t
219
220 - Set files with the mailman_queue_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
221 tion an executable to the mailman_queue_t domain.
222
223
224 Paths:
225 /etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman.*/cron/.*,
226 /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/qrunner
227
228
229 mailman_queue_tmp_t
230
231 - Set files with the mailman_queue_tmp_t type, if you want to store
232 mailman queue temporary files in the /tmp directories.
233
234
235
236 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
237 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
238 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
239 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
240
241
243 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
244 mappings.
245
246 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
247 process type is permissive.
248
249 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
250 icy modules.
251
252 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
253
254
255 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
256 icy settings.
