Description Jiri Kastner 2010-09-12 07:21:08 UTC
Summary:

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

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

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 2 Jiri Kastner 2010-09-12 07:40:24 UTC
dovecot-2.0.1-1_118.fc13.x86_64
dovecot-managesieve-2.0-10.fc13.x86_64
dovecot-pigeonhole-2.0-10.fc13.x86_64

fetchmail running /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver directly, no idea what exactly is dovecot doing on /tmp, but it started after added policy regarding appending messages to /var/log/dovecot/deliver-errors.log (bug 629731).
content of /var/log/dovecot/deliver-errors.log before switching to permissive mode:
Sep 10 11:28:16 lda(username): Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.lda.) failed: Permission denied
Sep 10 11:38:17 lda(username): Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.lda.) failed: Permission denied
