6 qmail_remote_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the qmail_re‐
7 mote processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the qmail_remote processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The qmail_remote processes execute with the qmail_remote_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep qmail_remote_t
20
24 The qmail_remote_t SELinux type can be entered via the qmail_re‐
25 mote_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the qmail_remote_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 qmail_remote policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 qmail_remote processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for qmail_remote:
43 qmail_remote_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a qmail_remote_t can be used to make the
47 process type qmail_remote_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 qmail_remote policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run qmail_remote with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
68 The SELinux process type qmail_remote_t can manage files labeled with
69 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
70 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71 missions.
72 qmail_spool_t
74 /var/qmail/queue(/.*)?
76
79 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
80 type.
81 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
83 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
85 SELinux qmail_remote policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
86 their qmail_remote processes in as secure a method as possible.
87 The following file types are defined for qmail_remote:
89 qmail_remote_exec_t
93 - Set files with the qmail_remote_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
95 tion an executable to the qmail_remote_t domain.
96 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
100 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
101 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
102 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
103
106 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
107 mappings.
108 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
110 process type is permissive.
111 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
113 icy modules.
114 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
116 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
119 icy settings.
