6 postfix_smtpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_smtpd processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_smtpd processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_smtpd processes execute with the postfix_smtpd_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 postfix_smtpd_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_smtpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the post‐
25 fix_smtpd_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_smtpd_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd
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_smtpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 postfix_smtpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for postfix_smtpd:
43
44 postfix_smtp_t, postfix_smtpd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_smtpd_t can be used to make the
47 process type postfix_smtpd_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_smtpd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_smtpd 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
72
73
75 The SELinux process type postfix_smtpd_t can manage files labeled with
76 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
77 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
78 missions.

115 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
116 type.
117
118 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
119
120 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
121 SELinux postfix_smtpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
122 their postfix_smtpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
123
124 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
125
126 SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_smtpd, if you
127 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
128 execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
129 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
130
131 semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_smtpd_tmp_t '/srv/mypostfix_smtpd_con‐
132 tent(/.*)?'
133 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_smtpd_content
134
135 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
136 match multiple files.
137
138 The following file types are defined for postfix_smtpd:
139
140
141
142 postfix_smtpd_exec_t
143
144 - Set files with the postfix_smtpd_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
145 tion an executable to the postfix_smtpd_t domain.
146
147
148
149 postfix_smtpd_tmp_t
150
151 - Set files with the postfix_smtpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store
152 postfix smtpd temporary files in the /tmp directories.
153
154
155
156 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
157 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
158 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
159 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
160
161
163 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
164 mappings.
165
166 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
167 process type is permissive.
168
169 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
170 icy modules.
171
172 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
173
174
175 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
176 icy settings.
