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

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?

Comment 2 Doncho Gunchev 2007-06-03 20:19:38 UTC
My install seems to have been broken somehow, reinstalled from F7 KDE LiveCD and
how it works...
