6 postfix_cleanup_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_cleanup processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_cleanup processes via flex‐
11 ible mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_cleanup processes execute with the postfix_cleanup_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 postfix_cleanup_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_cleanup_t SELinux type can be entered via the post‐
25 fix_cleanup_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_cleanup_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup
31
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_cleanup policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 postfix_cleanup processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for postfix_cleanup:
43
44 postfix_cleanup_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_cleanup_t can be used to make the
47 process type postfix_cleanup_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. post‐
54 fix_cleanup policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_cleanup 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

73
75 The SELinux process type postfix_cleanup_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.

97 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
98 type.
99
100 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
101
102 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
103 SELinux postfix_cleanup policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
104 their postfix_cleanup processes in as secure a method as possible.
105
106 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
107
108 SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_cleanup, if you
109 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
110 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
111 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
112
113 semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_cleanup_tmp_t '/srv/mypost‐
114 fix_cleanup_content(/.*)?'
115 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_cleanup_content
116
117 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
118 match multiple files.
119
120 The following file types are defined for postfix_cleanup:
121
122
123
124 postfix_cleanup_exec_t
125
126 - Set files with the postfix_cleanup_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
127 sition an executable to the postfix_cleanup_t domain.
128
129
130
131 postfix_cleanup_tmp_t
132
133 - Set files with the postfix_cleanup_tmp_t type, if you want to store
134 postfix cleanup temporary files in the /tmp directories.
135
136
137
138 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
139 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
140 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
141 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
142
143
145 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
146 mappings.
147
148 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
149 process type is permissive.
150
151 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
152 icy modules.
153
154 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
155
156
157 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
158 icy settings.
