NAME

6       fetchmail_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the fetchmail
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fetchmail  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  fetchmail processes execute with the fetchmail_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep fetchmail_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  fetchmail_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the fetchmail_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the fetchmail_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/fetchmail
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       fetchmail  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fetch‐
40       mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for fetchmail:
43
44       fetchmail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  fetchmail_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  fetchmail_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       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.  fetch‐
54       mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run fetchmail with the tightest access
56       possible.

MANAGED FILES

140       The  SELinux process type fetchmail_t can manage files labeled with the
141       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
142       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

216       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
217       type.
218
219       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
220
221       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
222       SELinux fetchmail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
223       fetchmail processes in as secure a method as possible.
224
225       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
226
227       SELinux defines the file context types for the fetchmail, if you wanted
228       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
229       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
230       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
231
232       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  fetchmail_var_run_t  '/srv/myfetchmail_con‐
233       tent(/.*)?'
234       restorecon -R -v /srv/myfetchmail_content
235
236       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
237       match multiple files.
238
239       The following file types are defined for fetchmail:
240
241
242
243       fetchmail_etc_t
244
245       -  Set files with the fetchmail_etc_t type, if you want to store fetch‐
246       mail files in the /etc directories.
247
248
249
250       fetchmail_exec_t
251
252       - Set files with the fetchmail_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
253       an executable to the fetchmail_t domain.
254
255
256
257       fetchmail_uidl_cache_t
258
259       -  Set files with the fetchmail_uidl_cache_t type, if you want to store
260       the files under the /var/cache directory.
261
262
263
264       fetchmail_var_run_t
265
266       - Set files with the fetchmail_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
267       fetchmail files under the /run or /var/run directory.
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.
