Description William Hill 2010-06-17 00:06:47 UTC

Summary:

SELinux is preventing sendmail "write" access on /var/spool/fcron/fcr-8yxZH1
(deleted).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that this access
is required by sendmail 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:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 William Hill 2010-06-17 00:14:29 UTC

I am not certain where to post this - but you cannot pull down seedit using yum because it is considered in conflict with the targeted, ML, etc policies. This interferes in bug hunting on selinux.( I had to pull down the rpm and install it as an archive ).

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-06-17 13:08:35 UTC

seedit is not a package you should be installing.

This looks like a redirection of stdout which is being denied

Miroslav,

Add

	cron_rw_inherited_user_spool_files(system_mail_t)

to mta.te
