6 qmail_smtpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 qmail_smtpd processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the qmail_smtpd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The qmail_smtpd processes execute with the qmail_smtpd_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep qmail_smtpd_t
20
21
22
24 The qmail_smtpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 qmail_smtpd_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the qmail_smtpd_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
31
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 qmail_smtpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 qmail_smtpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for qmail_smtpd:
43
44 qmail_smtpd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a qmail_smtpd_t can be used to make the
47 process type qmail_smtpd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 qmail_smtpd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run qmail_smtpd with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
61 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
75 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
82 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
83 default.
84
85 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
90 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
97 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P global_ssp 1

102
104 The SELinux process type qmail_smtpd_t can manage files labeled with
105 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
106 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
107 missions.

137 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
138 type.
139
140 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
141
142 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
143 SELinux qmail_smtpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
144 their qmail_smtpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
145
146 The following file types are defined for qmail_smtpd:
147
148
149
150 qmail_smtpd_exec_t
151
152 - Set files with the qmail_smtpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
153 an executable to the qmail_smtpd_t domain.
154
155
156
157 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
158 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
159 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
160 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
161
162
164 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
165 mappings.
166
167 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
168 process type is permissive.
169
170 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
171 icy modules.
172
173 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
174
175
176 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
177 icy settings.
