I got some help from #fedora-selinux: (Thanks dgrift!) $ ls -alZ /var/spool/postfix | grep pid drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 pid ls -alZ /var/spool | grep postfix drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:postfix_spool_t:s0 postfix $ restorecon -R -v /var/spool/postfix restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/unix.defer context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/unix.smtp context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/unix.cleanup context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/unix.lmtp context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/inet.submission context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/unix.bounce context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 restorecon reset /var/spool/postfix/pid/unix.local context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0
Any idea how this directory got destroyed and recreated? It should have had the correct context, at install time, and restorecon cleaned it up. If the admin destroyed and recreated the directory it is a user error. If postfix created the directory after it was deleted, then it is an SELiux bug.
Miroslav, add files_spool_filetrans(postfix_master_t, postfix_spool_t, dir) to postfix.te in F10 and F9
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.3.1-132.fc9
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
