Description Juan Orti 2013-04-12 13:41:30 UTC
Description of problem:
I have created the spamd user for the spamassassin stuff.
I have added "-u spamd" in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin:
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5 -H -u spamd"
And chown -R spamd:spamd /var/lib/spamassassin

With the default setup I get a lot of errors like:
config: cannot create user preferences file /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/user_prefs: No existe el fichero o el directorio
plugin: eval failed: bayes: (in learn) locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.foo.example.com.1776 for /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: No existe el fichero o el directorio
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from 'create' accesses on the directory .spamassassin.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If cree que de manera predeterminada, perl debería permitir acceso create sobre  .spamassassin directory.     
Then debería reportar esto como un error.
Puede generar un módulo de política local para permitir este acceso.
Do
permita el acceso momentáneamente executando:
# grep 7370616D64206368696C64 /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
