Description Orion Poplawski 2006-10-20 17:49:31 UTC
Description of problem:

Running in permissive mode.  Our main mail server automount home directories
locally (bind mounts).  We're seeing:

type=AVC msg=audit(1161365921.208:29404): avc:  denied  { search } for 
pid=15109 comm="procmail" name="/" dev=autofs ino=6125
scontext=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:autofs_t:s0
tclass=dir

Not sure if this would actually break procmail in enforcing mode, but I'm
guessing it would.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-2.3.7-2.fc5

I have the same problem, but I "manually" mount /home.  The boolean
use_nfs_home_dirs is set to "on".  FC6, selinux-policy-targeted-2.3.18-10.

See bug #212893 (RAWHIDE)?

May be your issue (tcontext=nfs_t), but not exactly mine (tcontext=autofs_t).

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2006-11-03 15:04:10 UTC
You can use audit2allow -M local < /var/log/messages
to generate local policy to make this work.

I am fixing in rawhide/FC6/RHEL5 and hope to backport to FC5
