Description of problem: SELinux alert prevents mailman from succesfull hostname change operation Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman.i386 3:2.1.9-5 installed selinux-policy.noarch 2.6.4-30.fc7 installed How reproducible: Change website hostname setting in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py. Upon restart mailman throws error. I suspect mailman is trying to update the hostname in its generated pages, as the change I made has had no effect. Otherwise, mailman seems to work, no error evident in log files. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual results: Summary SELinux is preventing python (mailman_cgi_t) "search" to httpd (httpd_config_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this access is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for httpd, restorecon -v httpd If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
