SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that dovecot-lda should be allowed connectto access on the auth-userdb unix_stream_socket 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 dovecot-lda /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_deliver_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 Target Objects /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb [ unix_stream_socket ] Source dovecot-lda Source Path /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages dovecot-2.0.12-2.fc14 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-40.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 07:04:18 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 20 First Seen Tue 31 May 2011 08:36:27 BST Last Seen Tue 31 May 2011 09:01:47 BST Local ID ac91b8f1-5aa5-400b-a165-5689ca5d8443 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1306828907.713:14185): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=12928 comm="dovecot-lda" path="/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_deliver_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1306828907.713:14185): arch=i386 syscall=socketcall success=no exit=EACCES a0=3 a1=bfcfccf0 a2=71d4e4 a3=bfcfcd1e items=0 ppid=12918 pid=12928 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=2029 comm=dovecot-lda exe=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda subj=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_deliver_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: dovecot-lda,dovecot_deliver_t,dovecot_t,unix_stream_socket,connectto audit2allow #============= dovecot_deliver_t ============== #!!!!

Looks like it wants: dovecot_stream_connect(dovecot_deliver_t). Problem is that dovecot_deliver_t also seems to want to read that socket. #709255
dovecot_deliver_t connects to dovecot_t with a unix stream socket: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=selinux-policy.git;a=commitdiff;h=3985ee8bbd4ef629d9b39d82e372419ba357f483
