Description of problem: I notice that starting dovecot causes the following avc denied message to appear in dmesg: audit(1175339294.718:5): avc: denied { create } for pid=23162 comm="dovecot" scontext=user_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tclass=netlink_route_socket As far as I can tell, this doesn't effect functionality. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-46.fc6 selinux-policy-2.4.6-46.fc6 dovecot-1.0-2.rc28.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1./sbin/service dovecot restart 2. 3.
I don't see such messages on my fc6, did you change anything in the config? Adding Dan to Cc -- any tips on this?
The only two changes I made to the config are protocols = imaps listen = localhost Actually, on removing each of those in turn and re-adding them, I see it is the presence of listen = localhost that gives the avc denied message - removing that gives no message.
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-51.fc6
