Description Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-10-30 09:40:39 UTC
SELinux is preventing /bin/bash from using the 'signal' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that bash should be allowed signal access on processes labeled unconfined_t 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 postfix-script /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-31 09:16:53 UTC
Is there a postfix process running as unconfined_t?

Did you execute a postfix domain directly without using a service script?


# ps -eZ |grep postfix

Comment 2 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-10-31 09:27:50 UTC
There is a postfix process running and the error is generated while running the service postfix restart, see below:

# service postfix restart
Shutting down postfix:                                     [FAILED]
Starting postfix:                                          [FAILED]
# ps -eZ |grep postfix
#

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-31 14:53:52 UTC
How did postfix-script get started?

Comment 4 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-10-31 14:57:47 UTC
When the machine started I assume

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-31 15:54:07 UTC
unconfined_t is a user login process label, it should not happen at boot.

If you run 

# restorecon -R -v /etc

do you see any init scripts being relabeled?

Comment 6 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-10-31 16:02:13 UTC
# restorecon -R -v /etc
restorecon reset /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:sshd_key_t:s0
restorecon reset /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:sshd_key_t:s0
restorecon reset /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:sshd_key_t:s0
restorecon reset /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf context system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0->system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0
restorecon reset /etc/postfix/postfix-script context unconfined_u:object_r:postfix_etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_exec_t:s0
restorecon reset /etc/dovecot.conf context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:dovecot_etc_t:s0

But I still have:
# service postfix restart
Shutting down postfix:                                     [FAILED]
Starting postfix:                                          [FAILED]

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:49:30 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
