6 qmail_local_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 qmail_local processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the qmail_local processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The qmail_local processes execute with the qmail_local_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_local_t
20
21
22
24 The qmail_local_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 qmail_local_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the qmail_local_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local
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_local policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 qmail_local processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for qmail_local:
43
44 qmail_local_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a qmail_local_t can be used to make the
47 process type qmail_local_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_local policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run qmail_local with the tight‐
56 est access possible.

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 allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type qmail_local_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.
101

147 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
148 type.
149
150 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
151
152 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
153 SELinux qmail_local policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
154 their qmail_local processes in as secure a method as possible.
155
156 The following file types are defined for qmail_local:
157
158
159
160 qmail_local_exec_t
161
162 - Set files with the qmail_local_exec_t type, if you want to transition
163 an executable to the qmail_local_t domain.
164
165
166
167 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
168 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
169 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
170 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
171
172
174 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
175 mappings.
176
177 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
178 process type is permissive.
179
180 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
181 icy modules.
182
183 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
184
185
186 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
187 icy settings.
