SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap from 'search' accesses on the directory /home/nim/.local. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that imap should be allowed search access on the .local directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:gconf_home_t:s0 Target Objects /home/nim/.local [ dir ] Source imap Source Path /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap Port <Inconnu> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages dovecot-2.0.7-2.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.10-5.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.36.1-10.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 29 14:41:22 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen jeu. 02 déc. 2010 19:22:38 CET Last Seen jeu. 02 déc. 2010 19:22:38 CET Local ID 348e11d9-320f-4bab-b47f-ba0b44f84bbc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1291314158.107:16255): avc: denied { search } for pid=1395 comm="imap" name=".local" dev=dm-0 ino=70875 scontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:gconf_home_t:s0 tclass=dir imap,dovecot_t,gconf_home_t,dir,search type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1291314158.107:16255): arch=x86_64 syscall=stat success=yes exit=0 a0=14301a8 a1=7fff74a260c0 a2=7fff74a260c0 a3=1 items=0 ppid=10390 pid=1395 auid=4294967295 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=imap exe=/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap subj=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 key=(null) imap,dovecot_t,gconf_home_t,dir,search #============= dovecot_t ============== allow dovecot_t gconf_home_t:dir search;
Are you storing mail under /home/nim/.local?
I moved my user mail store to .local/share/maildir/ since .local/share/ seems the correct root nowadays (thanks to xfg for trying to clean up the historical dotfile/dir mess)
I have fixed "gnome_manage_data()" interface which will fix this issue. Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.10-6.fc15
