6 postfix_master_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_master processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_master processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_master processes execute with the postfix_master_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_master_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_master_t SELinux type can be entered via the postfix_mas‐
25 ter_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_master_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/sbin/postcat, /usr/sbin/postfix, /usr/sbin/postlog,
31 /usr/sbin/postkick, /usr/sbin/postlock, /usr/sbin/postalias,
32 /usr/sbin/postsuper, /usr/libexec/postfix/master
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 postfix_master policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
42 postfix_master processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for postfix_master:
45
46 postfix_master_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_master_t can be used to make the
49 process type postfix_master_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
50 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
51 still generated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. post‐
56 fix_master policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
57 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_master with the
58 tightest access possible.

156 The SELinux process type postfix_master_t can manage files labeled with
157 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
158 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
159 missions.

267 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
268 type.
269
270 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
271
272 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
273 SELinux postfix_master policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
274 their postfix_master processes in as secure a method as possible.
275
276 The following file types are defined for postfix_master:
277
278
279
280 postfix_master_exec_t
281
282 - Set files with the postfix_master_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
283 tion an executable to the postfix_master_t domain.
284
285
286 Paths:
287 /usr/sbin/postcat, /usr/sbin/postfix, /usr/sbin/postlog,
288 /usr/sbin/postkick, /usr/sbin/postlock, /usr/sbin/postalias,
289 /usr/sbin/postsuper, /usr/libexec/postfix/master
290
291
292 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
293 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
294 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
295 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
296
297
299 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
300 mappings.
301
302 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
303 process type is permissive.
304
305 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
306 icy modules.
307
308 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
309
310
311 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
312 icy settings.
