NAME

       user_mail_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the user_mail processes

DESCRIPTION

       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the user_mail processes via flexible mandatory access control.

       The  user_mail  processes  execute with the user_mail_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
       command with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep user_mail_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The user_mail_t SELinux type can be entered via the mta_exec_type, sendmail_exec_t file types.

       The default entrypoint paths for the user_mail_t domain are the following:

       /bin/mail(x)?, /usr/bin/mail(x)?,  /usr/sbin/sendmail(.sendmail)?,  /usr/bin/esmtp,  /usr/sbin/rmail,  /usr/sbin/ssmtp,	/usr/lib/sendmail,
       /var/qmail/bin/sendmail, /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix, /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail

PROCESS TYPES

       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system

       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

       Policy  governs	the  access  confined  processes  have	to files.  SELinux user_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
       user_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for user_mail:

       user_mail_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a user_mail_t can be used to make the process type user_mail_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to  per-
       missive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS

       SELinux	policy is customizable based on least access required.	user_mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
       you to manipulate the policy and run user_mail with the tightest access possible.

       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the  authlo-
       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If  you	want  to  deny	any  process  from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on  the	domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled	by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

       If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

       If  you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server for the user_mail_t, you must
       turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the user_mail_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

       The SELinux process type user_mail_t can manage files labeled with the following file types.  The paths listed are the  default	paths  for
       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

       courier_spool_t

	    /var/spool/courier(/.*)?
	    /var/spool/authdaemon(/.*)?

       exim_log_t

	    /var/log/exim[0-9]?(/.*)?

       exim_spool_t

COMMANDS

       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.

       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.

       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
