Postfix fails to start
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:04 EST
Description of problem: Postfix fails to start at system boot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-2.3.6-1 How reproducible: Install Fedora 7t4 from the live KDE CD, remove sendmail and add postfix Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 7t4 from the live KDE CD 2. yum shell 3. remove sendmail 4. install postfix 5. run 6. reboot Actual results: Postfix fails Expected results: Postfix works Additional info: I have selinux running in permissive mode, but I get the following: type=AVC msg=audit(1178508473.360:295): avc: denied { append } for pid=3650 comm="local" name="root" dev=dm-2 ino=19231 scontext=user_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mail_spool_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1178508473.360:295): arch=40000003 syscall=5 success=yes exit=13 a0=80d24188 a1=c01 a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=3643 pid=3650 auid=700 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=12 sgid=0 fsgid=12 tty=(none) comm="local" exe="/usr/libexec/postfix/local" subj=user_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0 key=(null) After the system starts and I login I can 'service postfix start' without problems.
With F7 the problem remains (changing from devel to F7). Is my installation broken somehow or no one else uses postfix?
My install seems to have been broken somehow, reinstalled from F7 KDE LiveCD and how it works...
