NAME

6       postfix_pickup_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7       fix_pickup processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_pickup processes via flexi‐
11       ble mandatory access control.
12
13       The  postfix_pickup processes execute with the postfix_pickup_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_pickup_t

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  postfix_pickup_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  post‐
25       fix_pickup_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_pickup_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/postfix/pickup
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_pickup  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for postfix_pickup:
43
44       postfix_pickup_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_pickup_t can be used to  make  the
47       process  type postfix_pickup_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_pickup policy is extremely flexible and has several  booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the  policy and run postfix_pickup with the
56       tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to deny any process from ptracing or  debugging  any  other
69       processes,  you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled by
70       default.
71
72       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow any process  to  mmap  any  file  on  system  with
77       attribute  file_type,  you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78       ean. Enabled by default.
79
80       setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
81
82
83
84       If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel  is
85       executed  with  systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86       domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88       setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89
90
91
92       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
93       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
94
95       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
96
97
98
99       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
101       default.
102
103       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104
105
106
107       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109
110       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111
112
113
114       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117       setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118
119
120
121       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
122       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
123
124       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
125
126

MANAGED FILES

143       The SELinux process type postfix_pickup_t can manage files labeled with
144       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
145       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
146       missions.
147
148       anon_inodefs_t
149
150
151       postfix_pickup_tmp_t
152
153
154       postfix_var_run_t
155
156            /var/spool/postfix/pid/.*
157
158

FILE CONTEXTS

160       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
161       type.
162
163       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
164
165       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
166       SELinux  postfix_pickup policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
167       their postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method as possible.
168
169       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
170
171       SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_pickup,  if  you
172       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
173       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
174       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
175
176       semanage    fcontext    -a    -t   postfix_pickup_tmp_t   '/srv/mypost‐
177       fix_pickup_content(/.*)?'
178       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_pickup_content
179
180       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
181       match multiple files.
182
183       The following file types are defined for postfix_pickup:
184
185
186
187       postfix_pickup_exec_t
188
189       - Set files with the postfix_pickup_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
190       tion an executable to the postfix_pickup_t domain.
191
192
193
194       postfix_pickup_tmp_t
195
196       - Set files with the postfix_pickup_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store
197       postfix pickup temporary files in the /tmp directories.
198
199
200
201       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
202       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
203       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
204       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
205
206

COMMANDS

208       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
209       mappings.
210
211       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
212       process type is permissive.
213
214       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
215       icy modules.
216
217       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
218
219
220       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
221       icy settings.
