NAME

       postfix_local_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the postfix_local processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  postfix_local  processes execute with the postfix_local_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 postfix_local_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The postfix_local_t SELinux type can be entered via the postfix_local_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/libexec/postfix/local

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 postfix_local policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
       postfix_local processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for postfix_local:

       postfix_local_t

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

BOOLEANS

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

       If  you want to allow postfix_local domain full write access to mail_spool directories, you must turn on the postfix_local_write_mail_spool
       boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P postfix_local_write_mail_spool 1

       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. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

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

       setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1

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

       setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1

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

       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 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 postfix_local_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 postfix_local_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

       The SELinux process type postfix_local_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.

FILE CONTEXTS

       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.

       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_local, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_local_exec_t '/srv/postfix_local/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_local_content

       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

       The following file types are defined for postfix_local:

       postfix_local_exec_t

       - Set files with the postfix_local_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the postfix_local_t domain.

       postfix_local_tmp_t

       - Set files with the postfix_local_tmp_t type, if you want to store postfix local temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.	If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use
       the semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling database.	You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

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.
