💅 NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_selinux (section 8) — the glow-up edition

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_selinux, and yes that name is a mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_selinux — the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail processes. that's it, that's the whole thing, slay 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail processes via flexible mandatory access control. lowkey iconic of SELinux honestly.

The NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail processes execute with the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? just run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like so:

ps -eZ | grep NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t

no cap, that's the whole vibe check right there 🔍

---

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

so the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t SELinux type can be entered via the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_script_t file type. that's the doorway, periodt.

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

/usr/lib/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-sendmail

---

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. yes, every single one gets its own little identity, main character energy fr fr ✨

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail processes in as secure a method as possible. we love a flexible icon 💅

The following process types are defined for NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail:

NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t

Note: semanage permissive -a NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t can be used to make the process type NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, it's chill but it's still watching you 👀

---

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail with the tightest access possible. tightest access = the look, the lewk, the whole aesthetic 🔥

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

---

🗂️ MANAGED FILES 🗂️

The SELinux process type NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. and bestie, remember: the process's UID still need to have DAC permissions, SELinux isn't out here doing everything for you 🙈

systemd_passwd_var_run_t

/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?

---

🏷️ FILE CONTEXTS 🏷️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, files have vibes and those vibes are stored as attributes, we don't make the rules 🦋

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 NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail processes in as secure a method as possible. (yes we said that already, it's still true, let it sink in ✨)

🌈 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🌈

SELinux defines the file context types for the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail. 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. like this:

semanage fcontext -a -t NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_script_t '/srv/NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myNetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 😭

The following file types are defined for NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail:

NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_script_t

• Set files with the NetworkManager_dispatcher_sendmail_script_t type, if you want to treat the files as NetworkManager dispatcher sendmail script data.

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. so like... chcon is the situationship, semanage fcontext + restorecon is the committed relationship 💀

---

🛠️ 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.
