Description guilde.nt 2015-03-10 20:17:44 UTC
Description of problem:

Starting fetchmail from /etc/rc.d/rc.local fails with this message :

Mar  9 22:21:00 linux kernel: [   61.718767] audit: type=1400 audit(1425936060.972:7): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=643 comm="fetchmail" name=".fetchmail.pid" dev="dm-1" ino=312344 scontext=system_u:system_r:fetchmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mail_spool_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

This is the first boot on Fedora 21 ; it worked on Fedora 20.

Installing a selinux module (echo 'Mar  9...' | audit2allow -M mod ; semodule -i mod.pp) solves nothing. restorecon -R /var/spool/mail solves nothing. Executing /etc/rc.d/rc.local as root starts fetchmail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

fetchmail-6.3.26-4.fc21.i686
selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.3.fc21.noarch
kernel-PAE-3.18.8-201.fc21.i686

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.

In /etc/rc.d/rc.local :
su -s /bin/sh -c 'fetchmail --daemon 600 -f /etc/fetchmail/fetchmailrc' mail

2.

reboot

3.

pgrep -fl fetchmail

Actual results:
fetchmail not started

Expected results:
fetchmail started
