<h2>NAME
<a name="NAME"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">postfix_pickup_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
postfix_pickup processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the postfix_pickup processes via flexible
mandatory access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
postfix_pickup processes execute with the postfix_pickup_t
SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes
running by executing the <b>ps</b> command with the
<b>−Z</b> qualifier.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">For
example:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>ps -eZ |
grep postfix_pickup_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
postfix_pickup_t SELinux type can be entered via the
<b>postfix_pickup_exec_t</b> file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the postfix_pickup_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/libexec/postfix/pickup</p>
<h2>PROCESS TYPES
<a name="PROCESS TYPES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
process types (domains) for each process running on the
system</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a process using the <b>−Z</b> option to
<b>ps</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
postfix_pickup policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for postfix_pickup:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>postfix_pickup_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a postfix_pickup_t</b> can be used
to make the process type postfix_pickup_t permissive.
SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types,
but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still
generated.</p>
<h2>BOOLEANS
<a name="BOOLEANS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux policy
is customizable based on least access required.
postfix_pickup policy is extremely flexible and has several
booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run
postfix_pickup with the tightest access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on
the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
fips_mode 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nis_enabled 1</b></p>
<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type postfix_pickup_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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>krb5_host_rcache_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2

/var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)? <br>
/var/tmp/nfs_0 <br>
/var/tmp/DNS_25 <br>

/var/tmp/imap_0 <br>
/var/tmp/HTTP_23 <br>
/var/tmp/HTTP_48 <br>
/var/tmp/ldap_55 <br>
/var/tmp/ldap_487 <br>
/var/tmp/ldapmap1_0</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>postfix_pickup_tmp_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>postfix_var_run_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/var/spool/postfix/pid/.*</p>
<h2>FILE CONTEXTS
<a name="FILE CONTEXTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux
requires files to have an extended attribute to define the
file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a file using the <b>−Z</b> option to
<b>ls</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux
postfix_pickup policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>STANDARD
FILE CONTEXT</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
the file context types for the postfix_pickup, if you wanted
to store files with these types in a different paths, you
need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate
labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on
disk.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext -a -t postfix_pickup_tmp_t
’/srv/mypostfix_pickup_content(/.*)?’ <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_pickup_content</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note: SELinux
often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match
multiple files.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>The
following file types are defined for postfix_pickup:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>postfix_pickup_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the postfix_pickup_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the postfix_pickup_t domain.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>postfix_pickup_tmp_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the postfix_pickup_tmp_t type, if you want to store
postfix pickup temporary files in the /tmp directories.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 <b>semanage fcontext</b> command. This will
modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use
<b>restorecon</b> to apply the labels.</p>
<h2>COMMANDS
<a name="COMMANDS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext</b> can also be used to manipulate default file
context mappings.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
permissive</b> can also be used to manipulate whether or not
a process type is permissive.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
module</b> can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove
policy modules.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
boolean</b> can also be used to manipulate the booleans</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>system-config-selinux</b>
is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy
settings.</p>
