6 mailman_mail_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mail‐
7 man_mail processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_mail processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The mailman_mail processes execute with the mailman_mail_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 mailman_mail_t
20
21
22
24 The mailman_mail_t SELinux type can be entered via the mail‐
25 man_mail_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_mail_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/mailman,
31 /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mailmanctl,
32 /usr/lib/mailman.*/scripts/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mm-han‐
33 dler.*, /usr/share/doc/mailman.*/mm-handler.*, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mm-
34 handler.*, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
35
37 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
38 system
39
40 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
41
42 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
43 mailman_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
44 mailman_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
45
46 The following process types are defined for mailman_mail:
47
48 mailman_mail_t
49
50 Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_mail_t can be used to make the
51 process type mailman_mail_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
52 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
53 still generated.
54
55
57 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mail‐
58 man_mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
59 allow you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_mail with the tight‐
60 est access possible.
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
65 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
66 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
69
70
71
72 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
73 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
74
75 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
76
77
78
79 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
80 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
81
82 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
83
84
85
86 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
87 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
88
89 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
90
91
92
93 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
94 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
95
96 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

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

176 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
177 type.
178
179 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
180
181 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
182 SELinux mailman_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
183 their mailman_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
184
185 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
186
187 SELinux defines the file context types for the mailman_mail, if you
188 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
189 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
190 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
191
192 semanage fcontext -a -t mailman_mail_tmp_t '/srv/mymailman_mail_con‐
193 tent(/.*)?'
194 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_mail_content
195
196 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
197 match multiple files.
198
199 The following file types are defined for mailman_mail:
200
201
202
203 mailman_mail_exec_t
204
205 - Set files with the mailman_mail_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
206 tion an executable to the mailman_mail_t domain.
207
208
209 Paths:
210 /usr/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/mailman,
211 /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mail‐
212 manctl, /usr/lib/mailman.*/scripts/mailman, /usr/lib/mail‐
213 man.*/bin/mm-handler.*, /usr/share/doc/mailman.*/mm-handler.*,
214 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mm-handler.*, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
215
216
217 mailman_mail_tmp_t
218
219 - Set files with the mailman_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
220 mailman mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
221
222
223
224 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
225 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
226 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
227 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
228
229
231 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
232 mappings.
233
234 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
235 process type is permissive.
236
237 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
238 icy modules.
239
240 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
241
242
243 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
244 icy settings.
