Description Till Maas 2011-02-19 08:43:19 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/postfix/local from 'search' accesses on the directory /var/lib/logcheck.

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

If you believe that local should be allowed search access on the logcheck 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 local /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-02-21 23:20:18 UTC
Do you have logwatch sending mail through postfix?

Comment 2 Till Maas 2011-02-24 19:08:10 UTC
(In reply to comment #1)
> Do you have logwatch sending mail through postfix?

Here it is logcheck, not logwatch, but yes, both send mail here through postfix.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-02-24 19:19:42 UTC
Ok, what I think is happening is the current working directory is /var/lib/logcheck when the postfix command is executed causing postfix to search for the current directory creating this AVC.

Miroslav can you add

optional_policy(`
	logwatch_search_cache_dir(mailserver_delivery)
')


to mta.te for F13 and F14
