NAME

6       postfix_virtual_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7       fix_virtual processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_virtual processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   postfix_virtual  processes  execute  with  the  postfix_virtual_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep postfix_virtual_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  postfix_virtual_t SELinux type can be entered via the postfix_vir‐
25       tual_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_virtual_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/postfix/virtual
31

PROCESS TYPES

33       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34       system
35
36       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
39       postfix_virtual  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       postfix_virtual processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for postfix_virtual:
43
44       postfix_virtual_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_virtual_t can be used to make  the
47       process type postfix_virtual_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  post‐
54       fix_virtual policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the policy and run postfix_virtual with the
56       tightest access possible.

MANAGED FILES

171       The SELinux process type postfix_virtual_t  can  manage  files  labeled
172       with  the following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths
173       for these file types.  Note the processes UID still need  to  have  DAC
174       permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

230       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
231       type.
232
233       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
234
235       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
236       SELinux postfix_virtual policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
237       their postfix_virtual processes in as secure a method as possible.
238
239       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
240
241       SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_virtual, if  you
242       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
243       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
244       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
245
246       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  postfix_virtual_tmp_t  '/srv/mypostfix_vir‐
247       tual_content(/.*)?'
248       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_virtual_content
249
250       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
251       match multiple files.
252
253       The following file types are defined for postfix_virtual:
254
255
256
257       postfix_virtual_exec_t
258
259       -  Set files with the postfix_virtual_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
260       sition an executable to the postfix_virtual_t domain.
261
262
263
264       postfix_virtual_tmp_t
265
266       - Set files with the postfix_virtual_tmp_t type, if you want  to  store
267       postfix virtual temporary files in the /tmp directories.
268
269
270
271       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
272       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
273       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
274       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
275
276

COMMANDS

278       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
279       mappings.
280
281       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
282       process type is permissive.
283
284       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
285       icy modules.
286
287       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
288
289
290       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
291       icy settings.
