Description of problem: Although 'disable_ipv6' has been set in exim.conf, there are attempts to create INET6 sockets which is causing ugly SELinux avcs ("denied { module_request } for pid=5019 comm="sendmail" kmod="net-pf-10"). This seems to be triggered by os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c which creates AF_INET6 sockets unconditionally and falling back to AF_INET then. strace log in this case is 4992 recvfrom(5, "..."..., 2048, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.8.67")}, [16]) = 130 4992 close(5) = 0 4992 socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not supported by protocol) 4992 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 5 4992 ioctl(5, SIOCGIFCONF, {760, {{"lo", {AF_INET, inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, {"eth3", {AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.235.129")}},...) = 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): exim-4.72-1.el6.x86_64
