Description of problem: Starting postfix after latest selinux policy update SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd from 'create' accesses on the file inet.smtp. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that smtpd should be allowed create access on the inet.smtp 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 smtpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:postfix_smtpd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects inet.smtp [ file ] Source smtpd Source Path /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages postfix-2.9.6-4.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-95.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:59:47 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 4 First Seen 2013-05-23 06:54:55 MST Last Seen 2013-05-23 06:57:40 MST Local ID 0bc12339-bd04-4c7b-822b-76ca1c3c66ef Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1369317460.86:484): avc: denied { create } for pid=2063 comm="smtpd" name="inet.smtp" scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_smtpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1369317460.86:484): avc: denied { read write open } for pid=2063 comm="smtpd" path="/var/spool/postfix/pid/inet.smtp" dev="dm-2" ino=393309 scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_smtpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:postfix_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1369317460.86:484): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=EBADF a0=7fc39ae873e0 a1=c2 a2=180 a3=7fc3974ccc6c items=0 ppid=2058 pid=2063 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=smtpd exe=/usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd subj=system_u:system_r:postfix_smtpd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: smtpd,postfix_smtpd_t,postfix_var_run_t,file,create audit2allow #============= postfix_smtpd_t ============== allow postfix_smtpd_t postfix_var_run_t:file { read write create open }; audit2allow -R require { type postfix_smtpd_t; type postfix_var_run_t; class file { read write create open }; } #============= postfix_smtpd_t ============== allow postfix_smtpd_t postfix_var_run_t:file { read write create open }; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
