Description Jan Hutař 2007-10-21 18:39:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
Maybe this just some misconfiguration on my side, but when I try to send email 
to root (e.g. logwatch does so), I'm getting AVC. I'm using postfix.

#============= postfix_local_t ==============
allow postfix_local_t mail_spool_t:file write;


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-28.fc8
postfix-2.4.5-2.fc8


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. mail root


Actual results:
AVC - see attachment


Expected results:
No AVC



# ls -Z /var/spool/mail/
...
-rw-------  root       root system_u:object_r:mail_spool_t:s0 root
----------  root       mail system_u:object_r:mail_spool_t:s0 root.lock

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2007-10-22 13:03:08 UTC 
sealert should have told you to turn on the allow_postfix_local_write_mail_spool
boolean.

I will add an sealert plugin.

setsebool -P allow_postfix_local_write_mail_spool 1

Will fix your problem.
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2007-10-22 13:19:40 UTC 
Could you please attach your /var/log/audit/audit.log?

Comment 5 Jan Hutař 2007-10-22 14:17:53 UTC 
So, I think

setsebool -P allow_postfix_local_write_mail_spool 1

should be default for postfix, right?

Thank you.

PS. I'm using setroubleshoot-1.10.7-1.fc8
Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2007-10-22 15:20:28 UTC 
I will change to default to true.
