6 postfix_virtual_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_virtual processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_virtual processes via flex‐
11 ible mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_virtual processes execute with the postfix_virtual_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep postfix_virtual_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_virtual_t SELinux type can be entered via the postfix_vir‐
25 tual_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_virtual_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/libexec/postfix/virtual
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 postfix_virtual policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 postfix_virtual processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for postfix_virtual:
43
44 postfix_virtual_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_virtual_t can be used to make the
47 process type postfix_virtual_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to 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. post‐
54 fix_virtual policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_virtual with the
56 tightest access possible.

171 The SELinux process type postfix_virtual_t can manage files labeled
172 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
173 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
174 permissions.

230 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
231 type.
232
233 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
234
235 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
236 SELinux postfix_virtual policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
237 their postfix_virtual processes in as secure a method as possible.
238
239 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
240
241 SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_virtual, if you
242 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
243 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
244 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
245
246 semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_virtual_tmp_t '/srv/mypostfix_vir‐
247 tual_content(/.*)?'
248 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_virtual_content
249
250 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
251 match multiple files.
252
253 The following file types are defined for postfix_virtual:
254
255
256
257 postfix_virtual_exec_t
258
259 - Set files with the postfix_virtual_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
260 sition an executable to the postfix_virtual_t domain.
261
262
263
264 postfix_virtual_tmp_t
265
266 - Set files with the postfix_virtual_tmp_t type, if you want to store
267 postfix virtual temporary files in the /tmp directories.
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
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.
