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

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 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. Disabled 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. Disabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type postfix_pickup_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
102       anon_inodefs_t
103
104
105       postfix_pickup_tmp_t
106
107
108       postfix_var_run_t
109
110            /var/spool/postfix/pid/.*
111
112

FILE CONTEXTS

114       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
115       type.
116
117       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
118
119       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
120       SELinux  postfix_pickup policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
121       their postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method as possible.
122
123       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
124
125       SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_pickup,  if  you
126       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
127       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
128       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
129
130       semanage    fcontext    -a    -t   postfix_pickup_tmp_t   '/srv/mypost‐
131       fix_pickup_content(/.*)?'
132       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_pickup_content
133
134       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
135       match multiple files.
136
137       The following file types are defined for postfix_pickup:
138
139
140
141       postfix_pickup_exec_t
142
143       - Set files with the postfix_pickup_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
144       tion an executable to the postfix_pickup_t domain.
145
146
147
148       postfix_pickup_tmp_t
149
150       - Set files with the postfix_pickup_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store
151       postfix pickup temporary files in the /tmp directories.
152
153
154
155       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
156       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
157       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
158       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

160

COMMANDS

162       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
163       mappings.
164
165       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
166       process type is permissive.
167
168       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
169       icy modules.
170
171       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
172
173
174       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
175       icy settings.
