NAME

6       dovecot_deliver_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dove‐
7       cot_deliver processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dovecot_deliver processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   dovecot_deliver  processes  execute  with  the  dovecot_deliver_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 dovecot_deliver_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  dovecot_deliver_t  SELinux type can be entered via the dovecot_de‐
25       liver_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the dovecot_deliver_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver, /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
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       dovecot_deliver  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       dovecot_deliver processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for dovecot_deliver:
43
44       dovecot_deliver_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a dovecot_deliver_t can be used to make  the
47       process type dovecot_deliver_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to 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.  dove‐
54       cot_deliver policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the policy and run dovecot_deliver 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

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type dovecot_deliver_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.

FILE CONTEXTS

136       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
137       type.
138
139       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
140
141       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
142       SELinux dovecot_deliver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
143       their dovecot_deliver processes in as secure a method as possible.
144
145       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
146
147       SELinux defines the file context types for the dovecot_deliver, if  you
148       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
149       execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
150       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
151
152       semanage   fcontext  -a  -t  dovecot_deliver_tmp_t  '/srv/mydovecot_de‐
153       liver_content(/.*)?'
154       restorecon -R -v /srv/mydovecot_deliver_content
155
156       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
157       match multiple files.
158
159       The following file types are defined for dovecot_deliver:
160
161
162
163       dovecot_deliver_exec_t
164
165       -  Set files with the dovecot_deliver_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
166       sition an executable to the dovecot_deliver_t domain.
167
168
169       Paths:
170            /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver, /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
171
172
173       dovecot_deliver_tmp_t
174
175       - Set files with the dovecot_deliver_tmp_t type, if you want  to  store
176       dovecot deliver temporary files in the /tmp directories.
177
178
179
180       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
181       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
182       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
183       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
184
185

COMMANDS

187       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
188       mappings.
189
190       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
191       process type is permissive.
192
193       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
194       icy modules.
195
196       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
197
198
199       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
200       icy settings.
