Description Nicolas Mailhot 2010-12-02 18:23:16 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap from 'search' accesses on the directory /home/nim/.local.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that imap should be allowed search access on the .local directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-02 18:35:43 UTC
Are you storing mail under /home/nim/.local?

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-12-02 20:58:24 UTC
I moved my user mail store to .local/share/maildir/ since .local/share/ seems the correct root nowadays (thanks to xfg for trying to clean up the historical dotfile/dir mess)

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2010-12-03 09:39:54 UTC
I have fixed "gnome_manage_data()" interface which will fix this issue.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.10-6.fc15
