Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/fetchmail from write access on the directory /var/log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that fetchmail should be allowed write access on the log 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 fetchmail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:fetchmail_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 Target Objects /var/log [ dir ] Source fetchmail Source Path /usr/bin/fetchmail Port <Unknown> Host srv06.kola.fad.ru Source RPM Packages fetchmail-6.3.22-1.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages filesystem-3-2.fc17.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-161.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name srv06.kola.fad.ru Platform Linux srv06.kola.fad.ru 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 5 21:59:35 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2012-11-21 22:35:02 MSK Last Seen 2012-11-21 22:36:01 MSK Local ID 9548d7f0-9518-417f-a7da-7f9ac98d9576 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1353522961.329:274): avc: denied { write } for pid=6516 comm="fetchmail" name="log" dev="dm-1" ino=1705216 scontext=system_u:system_r:fetchmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1353522961.329:274): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=1be8a10 a1=441 a2=1b6 a3=8 items=0 ppid=1 pid=6516 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=fetchmail exe=/usr/bin/fetchmail subj=system_u:system_r:fetchmail_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: fetchmail,fetchmail_t,var_log_t,dir,write audit2allow #============= fetchmail_t ============== #!!!!
