Description Bryan Hepworth 2008-04-11 12:15:36 UTC
Description of problem:
I've created a new procmail recipe to allow users to email the server to turn 
vacation on and off. The orignal script is here:- 
http://ahab.com/code/vacationrc

Selinux errors as follows: -
   
SELinux is preventing sh (procmail_t) "getattr" to /bin/hostname
(hostname_exec_t).

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/procmail (procmail_t) "execute" to hostname
(hostname_exec_t).

SELinux is preventing the /usr/bin/procmail from using potentially
mislabeled files (tmp). 

The errors said to file bugzilla


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


How reproducible: Everytime the script is used


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install script into .procmailrc
2. Turn script on in procmail
3.
  
Actual results:

Vacation message is not created

Expected results:

Vacation message to be sent

You can add this rule using audit2allow

# grep procmail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M myprocmail
# semodule -i myprocmail.pp

This will be in either 5.2 or 5.3


Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-138.el5
