Description major 2006-08-09 08:49:36 UTC
Description of problem:
The cyrus imap server is denied when trying to create a networked lmtp socket.
Apparently there is no rule allowing the access from "cyrus_t" to
"reserved_port_t" for a "tcp_socket". The following lines are in audit.log.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cyrus-imapd-2.3.1-2.6.fc5,
kernel-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5,
selinux-policy-targeted-2.3.3-8.fc5


Steps to Reproduce:
Edit the configuration line in "/etc/cyrus.conf" for lmtp by removing the
leading "#", thus uncommenting the line. Restart cyrus using "service
cyrus-imapd restart" or reboot with cyrus-imapd enabled. "/var/log/maillog"
shows the line "master[XXXX]: unable to create lmtp listener socket: Permission
denied".
