Description Brian J. Murrell 2016-11-08 12:31:37 EST
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd from read access on the file unix.

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

If you believe that imapd should be allowed read access on the unix file 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 imapd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Hi Brian, bugs 1393013, 1393015, 1393020, 1393030 have most likely the same cause. Unfortunately, I don't know it. I would appreciate if you could help me find it. Thanks for the report.
Comment 5 Lukas Vrabec 2017-10-12 08:19:54 EDT
We're going to close this bug as WONTFIX because

 * of limited capacity of selinux-policy developers
 * the bug is related to EPEL component or 3rd party SW only
 * the bug appears in unsupported configuration 

We believe this bug can be fixed via a local policy module.
For more information please see:

If you disagree, please re-open the bug.

cyrus-imapd in in the base repository

>  * the bug appears in unsupported configuration 

What is it about my configuration that is unsupported?
 
> We believe this bug can be fixed via a local policy module.

Sure it can, and it has been.  But that doesn't help anyone/eveyone else.
