I've just started learning to configure SELINUX and this morning on my CentOS 6.4 x64 system, with postfix/dovecot/mysql installed, I woke up to the following selinux issue
found 1 alerts in /var/log/audit/audit.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/lmtp from write access on the directory sieve.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ***************************
If you believe that lmtp should be allowed write access on the sieve directory 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 lmtp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
# semodule -i mypol.pp
When I run
grep lmtp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
I get
module dovecot 1.0;
require {
type dovecot_etc_t;
type dovecot_t;
class dir write;
}
#============= dovecot_t ==============
allow dovecot_t dovecot_etc_t:dir write;
and then when I run
semodule -i mypol.pp
I get
libsepol.print_missing_requirements: dovecot's global requirements were not
met: type/attribute dovecot_etc_t (No such file or directory).
libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed (No such file or directory).
semodule: Failed!
This has worked for me in the past but it's stumped me this time :s. Can anyone push me in the right direction, please?
