Description of problem: I'm running sendmail using: +INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:1m;R:1m;E:5m') in my sendmail.mc. I had to uninstall and reinstall mimedefang to correct some corruption. After doing so, I started seeing: type=AVC msg=audit(1323904762.038:42942): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=805 comm="sendmail" path="/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock" scontext=system_u:system_r:sendmail_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=unix_stream_socket which "audit2allow" tells me that I'm missing: allow sendmail_t unconfined_t:unix_stream_socket connectto; Not sure why the context has gone away on the socket... I'm thinking it should be: allow sendmail_t spamd_t:unix_stream_socket connectto; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.10.0-64 How reproducible: As per above. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
How did you start spamd? It happens, if you start a service without using systemctl.
This looks like you ran spamd as unconfined_t rather then through the service or sysctl command.
(In reply to comment #2) > This looks like you ran spamd as unconfined_t rather then through the service > or sysctl command. Acknowledged... still, should /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions handle that correctly when running with SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT set?
How exactly did you start it?
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=yes /etc/init.d/spamassassin start
