NAME

6       postfix_local_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7       fix_local processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_local processes via  flexi‐
11       ble mandatory access control.
12
13       The  postfix_local  processes  execute with the postfix_local_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 postfix_local_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   postfix_local_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  post‐
25       fix_local_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the  postfix_local_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/postfix/local
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_local  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup their
40       postfix_local processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for postfix_local:
43
44       postfix_local_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_local_t can be used  to  make  the
47       process  type  postfix_local_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  post‐
54       fix_local policy is extremely flexible and has  several  booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and run postfix_local with the
56       tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you  want  to  allow  postfix_local  domain  full  write  access  to
61       mail_spool    directories,    you    must    turn    on    the    post‐
62       fix_local_write_mail_spool boolean. Enabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P postfix_local_write_mail_spool 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
69       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
70       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
77       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
84       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
85
86       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
91       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
94
95
96
97       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
98       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
99
100       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
101
102
103
104       If you want to support NFS home  directories,  you  must  turn  on  the
105       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
106
107       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
108
109
110
111       If  you  want  to  support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
112       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
113
114       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

MANAGED FILES

119       The SELinux process type postfix_local_t can manage files labeled  with
120       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
121       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
122       missions.

FILE CONTEXTS

188       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
189       type.
190
191       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
192
193       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
194       SELinux  postfix_local  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
195       their postfix_local processes in as secure a method as possible.
196
197       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
198
199       SELinux defines the file context types for the  postfix_local,  if  you
200       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
201       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
202       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
203
204       semanage  fcontext -a -t postfix_local_tmp_t '/srv/mypostfix_local_con‐
205       tent(/.*)?'
206       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_local_content
207
208       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
209       match multiple files.
210
211       The following file types are defined for postfix_local:
212
213
214
215       postfix_local_exec_t
216
217       -  Set files with the postfix_local_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
218       tion an executable to the postfix_local_t domain.
219
220
221
222       postfix_local_tmp_t
223
224       - Set files with the postfix_local_tmp_t type, if  you  want  to  store
225       postfix local temporary files in the /tmp directories.
226
227
228
229       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
230       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
231       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
232       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
233
234

COMMANDS

236       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
237       mappings.
238
239       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
240       process type is permissive.
241
242       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
243       icy modules.
244
245       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
246
247
248       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
249       icy settings.
