SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/postfix/master from 'lock' accesses on the file /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid default label should be postfix_var_run_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that master should be allowed lock access on the master.pid file 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 master /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:postfix_master_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 Target Objects /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid [ file ] Source master Source Path /usr/libexec/postfix/master Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages postfix-2.7.1-1.fc14 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-25.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux think 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:04:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 27 Jan 2011 09:51:07 AM CET Last Seen Thu 27 Jan 2011 09:51:07 AM CET Local ID b9f24aa7-f2e1-415c-819a-9e077b2d9b07 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1296118267.928:10): avc: denied { lock } for pid=1663 comm="master" path="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid" dev=sda2 ino=131321 scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_master_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1296118267.928:10): arch=x86_64 syscall=flock success=no exit=EACCES a0=9 a1=6 a2=6 a3=7fff6463cca0 items=0 ppid=1658 pid=1663 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=master exe=/usr/libexec/postfix/master subj=system_u:system_r:postfix_master_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: master,postfix_master_t,var_run_t,file,lock audit2allow #============= postfix_master_t ============== allow postfix_master_t var_run_t:file lock; audit2allow -R #============= postfix_master_t ============== allow postfix_master_t var_run_t:file lock; If I then try to take the "yellow" option i.e. that the postfix daemon should be allowed access to its own lockfile, I get: [root@think ~]# grep master /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol compilation failed: mypol.te:6:ERROR 'syntax error' at token '' on line 6: /usr/bin/checkmodule: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from mypol.te
The problem is labeling. Adding the allow rule is not what you want to do. restorecon -R -v /var/spool Will fix the problem Also yum update setroubleshoot*
