NAME

6       dovecot_deliver_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dove‐
7       cot_deliver processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dovecot_deliver processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   dovecot_deliver  processes  execute  with  the  dovecot_deliver_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 dovecot_deliver_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  dovecot_deliver_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the dove‐
25       cot_deliver_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the dovecot_deliver_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver, /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
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       dovecot_deliver  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       dovecot_deliver processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for dovecot_deliver:
43
44       dovecot_deliver_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a dovecot_deliver_t can be used to make  the
47       process type dovecot_deliver_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  dove‐
54       cot_deliver policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the policy and run dovecot_deliver with the
56       tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type dovecot_deliver_t  can  manage  files  labeled
76       with  the following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths
77       for these file types.  Note the processes UID still need  to  have  DAC
78       permissions.
79
80       cifs_t
81
82
83       data_home_t
84

86            /home/[^/]+/.local/share(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

119       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
120       type.
121
122       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
123
124       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
125       SELinux dovecot_deliver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
126       their dovecot_deliver processes in as secure a method as possible.
127
128       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
129
130       SELinux defines the file context types for the dovecot_deliver, if  you
131       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
132       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
133       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
134
135       semanage    fcontext    -a   -t   dovecot_deliver_tmp_t   '/srv/mydove‐
136       cot_deliver_content(/.*)?'
137       restorecon -R -v /srv/mydovecot_deliver_content
138
139       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
140       match multiple files.
141
142       The following file types are defined for dovecot_deliver:
143
144
145
146       dovecot_deliver_exec_t
147
148       -  Set files with the dovecot_deliver_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
149       sition an executable to the dovecot_deliver_t domain.
150
151
152       Paths:
153            /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver, /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
154
155
156       dovecot_deliver_tmp_t
157
158       - Set files with the dovecot_deliver_tmp_t type, if you want  to  store
159       dovecot deliver temporary files in the /tmp directories.
160
161
162
163       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
164       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
165       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
166       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

168

COMMANDS

170       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
171       mappings.
172
173       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
174       process type is permissive.
175
176       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
177       icy modules.
178
179       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
180
181
182       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
183       icy settings.
