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 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
25 system
26
27 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
28
29 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
30 logwatch_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
31 logwatch_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
32
33 The following process types are defined for logwatch_mail:
34
35 logwatch_mail_t
36
37 Note: semanage permissive -a logwatch_mail_t can be used to make the
38 process type logwatch_mail_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
39 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
40 still generated.
41
42
44 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. log‐
45 watch_mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
46 allow you to manipulate the policy and run logwatch_mail with the
47 tightest access possible.

50
51 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
52 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
53
54 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
59 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

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

152 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
153 mappings.
154
155 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
156 process type is permissive.
157
158 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
159 icy modules.
160
161 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
162
163
164 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
165 icy settings.
