Description Tomas Smetana 2007-10-24 13:42:30 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #252185 +++

Description of problem:

The init script that launches mailman qrunners uses the form "interpreter
script" instead of "script" to launch the mailmanctl script. Because of this
proper SELinux domain transitions cannot occur and the Mailman qrunner ends up
in initrc_t domain.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mailman-2.1.9-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mailman with SELinux in permissive mode.
2. Execute "ps xuwa -Z | grep qrunner"
  
Actual results:
The processes run in initrc_t domain.

Expected results:
The processes should run in mailman_mail_t domain.

Additional info:
A patch against the init script is attached.

I got some AVC messages after applying the patch.  This means that we might need
to update also the policy and need to test this for some time.  Maybe we should
start with this in Fedora first.
