Bug 991555

Description of problem:
Everytime I boot dovecot fails due to selinux.

I follow the directions given in trouble shooting:

# grep dovecot /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

and it works fine after that. But on next boot, it fails again with the same issue??
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/dovecot from 'name_bind' accesses on the tcp_socket .

*****  Plugin bind_ports (92.2 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to allow /usr/sbin/dovecot to bind to network port 10993
Then you need to modify the port type.
Do
# semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p tcp 10993
    where PORT_TYPE is one of the following: lmtp_port_t, mail_port_t, pop_port_t, sieve_port_t.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (7.83 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow system to run with NIS
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'nis_enabled' boolean.
You can read 'None' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

*****  Plugin catchall (1.41 confidence) suggests  ***************************

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