Description of problem: SELinux is preventing sendmail from 'write' accesses on the sock_file system_bus_socket. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that sendmail should be allowed write access on the system_bus_socket sock_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: # ausearch -c 'sendmail' --raw | audit2allow -M my-sendmail # semodule -X 300 -i my-sendmail.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:sendmail_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:system_dbusd_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects system_bus_socket [ sock_file ] Source sendmail Source Path sendmail Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.17.fc27.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.14.5-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 11 16:00:36 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2017-12-14 23:37:03 CST Last Seen 2017-12-14 23:37:03 CST Local ID d35f156d-a4ba-4531-ae99-ed164c698872 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1513316223.259:645): avc: denied { write } for pid=15806 comm="sendmail" name="system_bus_socket" dev="tmpfs" ino=17179 scontext=system_u:system_r:sendmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:system_dbusd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file permissive=1 Hash: sendmail,sendmail_t,system_dbusd_var_run_t,sock_file,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.17.fc27.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.14.5-300.fc27.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1478735
