6 qmail_local_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the qmail_lo‐
7 cal processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the qmail_local processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The qmail_local processes execute with the qmail_local_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep qmail_local_t
20
21
22
24 The qmail_local_t SELinux type can be entered via the qmail_lo‐
25 cal_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the qmail_local_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local
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 qmail_local policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 qmail_local processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for qmail_local:
43
44 qmail_local_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a qmail_local_t can be used to make the
47 process type qmail_local_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 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.
54 qmail_local policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run qmail_local with the tight‐
56 est 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 qmail_local_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.

134 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
135 type.
136
137 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
138
139 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
140 SELinux qmail_local policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
141 their qmail_local processes in as secure a method as possible.
142
143 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
144
145 SELinux defines the file context types for the qmail_local, if you
146 wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need
147 to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
148 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
149
150 semanage fcontext -a -t qmail_local_exec_t '/srv/qmail_local/con‐
151 tent(/.*)?'
152 restorecon -R -v /srv/myqmail_local_content
153
154 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
155 match multiple files.
156
157 The following file types are defined for qmail_local:
158
159
160
161 qmail_local_exec_t
162
163 - Set files with the qmail_local_exec_t type, if you want to transition
164 an executable to the qmail_local_t domain.
165
166
167
168 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
169 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
170 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
171 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
172
173
175 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
176 mappings.
177
178 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
179 process type is permissive.
180
181 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
182 icy modules.
183
184 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
185
186
187 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
188 icy settings.
