NAME

6       fetchmail_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the fetchmail
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fetchmail  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  fetchmail processes execute with the fetchmail_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep fetchmail_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  fetchmail_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the fetchmail_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the fetchmail_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/fetchmail
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       fetchmail  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fetch‐
40       mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for fetchmail:
43
44       fetchmail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  fetchmail_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  fetchmail_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       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.  fetch‐
54       mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run fetchmail with the tightest access
56       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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
75       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
78

MANAGED FILES

82       The  SELinux process type fetchmail_t can manage files labeled with the
83       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
84       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
85

FILE CONTEXTS

139       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
140       type.
141
142       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
143
144       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
145       SELinux fetchmail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
146       fetchmail processes in as secure a method as possible.
147
148       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
149
150       SELinux defines the file context types for the fetchmail, if you wanted
151       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
152       the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and  then  use  re‐
153       storecon to put the labels on disk.
154
155       semanage  fcontext  -a -t fetchmail_uidl_cache_t '/srv/myfetchmail_con‐
156       tent(/.*)?'
157       restorecon -R -v /srv/myfetchmail_content
158
159       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
160       match multiple files.
161
162       The following file types are defined for fetchmail:
163
164
165
166       fetchmail_etc_t
167
168       -  Set files with the fetchmail_etc_t type, if you want to store fetch‐
169       mail files in the /etc directories.
170
171
172
173       fetchmail_exec_t
174
175       - Set files with the fetchmail_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
176       an executable to the fetchmail_t domain.
177
178
179
180       fetchmail_home_t
181
182       - Set files with the fetchmail_home_t type, if you want to store fetch‐
183       mail files in the users home directory.
184
185
186       Paths:
187            /root/.fetchmailrc, /home/[^/]+/.fetchmailrc
188
189
190       fetchmail_initrc_exec_t
191
192       - Set files with the fetchmail_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
193       sition an executable to the fetchmail_initrc_t domain.
194
195
196
197       fetchmail_log_t
198
199       -  Set  files  with  the fetchmail_log_t type, if you want to treat the
200       data as fetchmail log data, usually stored under  the  /var/log  direc‐
201       tory.
202
203
204
205       fetchmail_uidl_cache_t
206
207       -  Set files with the fetchmail_uidl_cache_t type, if you want to store
208       the files under the /var/cache directory.
209
210
211       Paths:
212            /var/lib/fetchmail(/.*)?,          /var/spool/mail/.fetchmail.pid,
213            /var/spool/mail/.fetchmail-UIDL-cache
214
215
216       fetchmail_var_run_t
217
218       - Set files with the fetchmail_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
219       fetchmail files under the /run or /var/run directory.
220
221
222
223       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
224       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
225       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
226       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
227
228

COMMANDS

230       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
231       mappings.
232
233       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
234       process type is permissive.
235
236       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
237       icy modules.
238
239       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
240
241
242       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
243       icy settings.
