greylist...r_selinux(8)

Hey bestie 💖 welcome to the greylist_milter_selinux(8) page — the header shows up shortened as greylist...r_selinux(8), but the manual name is greylist_milter_selinux, and it's all about the SELinux Policy for greylist_milter. No cap, we're getting into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

greylist_milter_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the greylist_milter processes

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the greylist_milter processes via flexible mandatory access control. Iconic. 💅

The greylist_milter processes execute with the greylist_milter_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 greylist_milter_t

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The greylist_milter_t SELinux type can be entered via the greylist_milter_exec_t file type.

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

• /usr/bin/sqlgrey
• /usr/bin/milter-greylist

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

The following process types are defined for greylist_milter:

greylist_milter_t

Note: semanage permissive -a greylist_milter_t can be used to make the process type greylist_milter_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. greylist_milter policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run greylist_milter with the tightest access possible.

• daemons_dontaudit_scheduling — if you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default. Run setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1.
• fips_mode — if you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default. Run setsebool -P fips_mode 1.
• nis_enabled — if you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default. Run setsebool -P nis_enabled 1.

🌈 MANAGED FILES 🌈

The SELinux process type greylist_milter_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 greylist_milter policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their greylist_milter processes in as secure a method as possible.

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for the greylist_milter, 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.

semanage fcontext -a -t greylist_milter_exec_t '/srv/greylist_milter/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mygreylist_milter_content

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

The following file types are defined for greylist_milter:

greylist_milter_data_t

• Set files with the greylist_milter_data_t type, if you want to treat the files as greylist milter content.

Paths:

• /var/lib/sqlgrey(/.*)?
• /run/milter-greylist(/.*)?
• /var/lib/milter-greylist(/.*)?
• /run/sqlgrey.pid
• /run/milter-greylist.pid

greylist_milter_exec_t

• Set files with the greylist_milter_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the greylist_milter_t domain.

Paths:

• /usr/bin/sqlgrey
• /usr/bin/milter-greylist

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.
