6 logwatch_mail_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the log‐
7 watch_mail processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logwatch_mail processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The logwatch_mail processes execute with the logwatch_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 logwatch_mail_t
20
21
22
24 The logwatch_mail_t SELinux type can be entered via the mta_exec_type,
25 sendmail_exec_t file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the logwatch_mail_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/sbin/sendmail(.sendmail)?, /usr/bin/esmtp, /usr/sbin/rmail,
31 /usr/sbin/ssmtp, /usr/lib/sendmail, /usr/bin/esmtp-wrapper,
32 /var/qmail/bin/sendmail, /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 logwatch_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
42 logwatch_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for logwatch_mail:
45
46 logwatch_mail_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a logwatch_mail_t can be used to make the
49 process type logwatch_mail_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
50 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
51 still generated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. log‐
56 watch_mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
57 allow you to manipulate the policy and run logwatch_mail with the
58 tightest access possible.

62 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
63 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
64 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
67
68
69
70 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
71 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
78 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
85 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
92 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
95

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