Description of problem: Sendmail is configured to allow SMTP AUTH. SMTP authentication is handled by saslauthd. The system is configured to use NIS for authentication. When SMTP authentication is attempted and valid credentials are supplied, authentication fails. AVC denials for saslauthd are logged (only if all audit messages are enabled with enableaudit.pp). The following SELinux policy rules were found to resolve the situation: allow saslauthd_t reserved_port_type:udp_socket name_bind; allow saslauthd_t self:capability net_bind_service; The issue is similar to issue #320461. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.6.4-49.fc7 selinux-policy-targeted-2.6.4-49.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable SMTP AUTH in sendmail.cf 2. Start saslauthd 3. Configure email client to authenticate to SMTP server 4. Attempt to send email. Actual results: Valid user credentials are rejected Expected results: Valid user credentials are accepted Additional info:
