Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: Squirrelmail forward plugin: msg#00200

Subject: Re: Squirrelmail forward plugin
Hi,

I've compiled a local policy for the squirrel plugin mail_fwd found at
http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=16.

The minimum required for creating and removing a users .forward file is:

allow httpd_sys_script_t self:capability { setgid setuid };
allow httpd_sys_script_t user_home_dir_t:dir { write add_name remove_name };
allow httpd_sys_script_t user_home_dir_t:file { write create getattr unlink };

Are these appropriate for inclusion in the next targetted policy or should I
send this info for inclusion in the plugins docs? Seems like an awful lot of rights
to hand out?

The plugin has 18000 downloads according to their webpage.

Hi.

Just noted a user tried to add .forward by using the forwarding module in squirrelmail.

Jul 20 00:56:52 spock kernel: audit(1121813812.917:1844): avc: denied { setgid } for pid=24466 comm="wfwd" capability=6 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=capability

httpd log:
/usr/local/sbin/wfwd: Operation not permitted

[root@spock html]# audit2allow -d -l
allow httpd_sys_script_t self:capability setgid;

The tool used is wfwd.
