NAME

6       nagios_mail_plugin_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the na‐
7       gios_mail_plugin processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  nagios_mail_plugin  processes  via
11       flexible mandatory access control.
12
13       The  nagios_mail_plugin processes execute with the nagios_mail_plugin_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 nagios_mail_plugin_t

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  nagios_mail_plugin_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via the na‐
25       gios_mail_plugin_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the  nagios_mail_plugin_t  domain  are
28       the following:
29
30       /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq
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       nagios_mail_plugin  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing users to setup
40       their nagios_mail_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for nagios_mail_plugin:
43
44       nagios_mail_plugin_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a nagios_mail_plugin_t can be used  to  make
47       the process type nagios_mail_plugin_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
48       access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)  mes‐
49       sages are still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is  customizable  based on least access required.  na‐
54       gios_mail_plugin policy is extremely flexible and has several  booleans
55       that allow you to manipulate the policy and run nagios_mail_plugin with
56       the 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 confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
68       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
71

73

FILE CONTEXTS

75       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
76       type.
77
78       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
79
80       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
81       SELinux nagios_mail_plugin policy is very flexible  allowing  users  to
82       setup  their nagios_mail_plugin processes in as secure a method as pos‐
83       sible.
84
85       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
86
87       SELinux defines the file context types for the  nagios_mail_plugin,  if
88       you  wanted  to  store files with these types in a different paths, you
89       need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and
90       then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
91
92       semanage    fcontext    -a   -t   nagios_mail_plugin_exec_t   '/srv/na‐
93       gios_mail_plugin/content(/.*)?'
94       restorecon -R -v /srv/mynagios_mail_plugin_content
95
96       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
97       match multiple files.
98
99       The following file types are defined for nagios_mail_plugin:
100
101
102
103       nagios_mail_plugin_exec_t
104
105       -  Set  files  with  the nagios_mail_plugin_exec_t type, if you want to
106       transition an executable to the nagios_mail_plugin_t domain.
107
108
109
110       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
111       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
112       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
113       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

115

COMMANDS

117       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
118       mappings.
119
120       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
121       process type is permissive.
122
123       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
124       icy modules.
125
126       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
127
128
129       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
130       icy settings.
