Description Need Real Name 2006-08-29 07:27:14 UTC 
The /etc/init.d/dovecot has wrong permissions 
ls -lZ /etc/init.d/dovecot*
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t  /etc/init.d/dovecot
what prevent dovecot from starting with selinux enabled
after 
chcon  system_u:object_r:dovecot_exec_t /etc/init.d/dovecot
ls -lZ /etc/init.d/dovecot*
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:dovecot_exec_t /etc/init.d/dovecot

everything works OK
Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2006-09-27 00:31:41 UTC 
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t  /etc/init.d/dovecot

Was right,  init scripts should be labeled initrc_exec_t.  What avc messages
were you seeing?

How is the dovecot application labeled?
