Description Jiri Kastner 2010-08-16 09:36:27 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda "search" access on
dovecot.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by deliver. It is not expected that this access
is required by deliver 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 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-16 09:38:24 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 7 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 21:36:23 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
