Description Roland McGrath 2008-09-29 18:21:37 UTC
Description of problem:

postfix trying to deliver mail to the local root user gets an avc denial for looking at /root (the home dir), probably it's trying to look for /root/.forward or something.  

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

selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-91.fc9.noarch
postfix-2.5.1-2.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.remove sendmail, install postfix, restart
2.echo hi | mail -s test root
3.see denial
  
Actual results:
host=magilla type=AVC msg=audit(1222712330.35:1254): avc: denied { search } for pid=27777 comm="local" name="root" dev=dm-3 ino=1056769 scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=dir 

Expected results:
no denial
