Didar, Mail is arriving. I just get one SELinux message for every mail message. I agree...exim should not be referencing /boot AFAIK. But I'm not an expert.

Without having seen the config I can only make wild guesses... However the wild guess I would make is that exim is doing a check for available space in the spool and log directories, and this is triggering the SELinux check on the statvfs() call. It is a wild guess though :-) Can you make sure that there are no references to boot in the config files Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham nigel.methering...@intechnology.com ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
exim: SELinux
This is a recently installed/patched F11 system. It was a fresh
install to one disk leaving my home directory untouched on another
disk. Today, I installed exim and removed sendmail via yum at the
command line. I am using the same exim.conf file that I had used with
F10 after having compared it to the original one. I am now receiving
the following message when I attempt to retrieve mail from my ISP:
Jul 12 14:26:36 flinux setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing exim
(exim_t) getattr boot_t. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert
-l e699bb55-c0dc-4bbf-a57e-3d82d6dadcad
sealert -l e699bb55-c0dc-4bbf-a57e-3d82d6dadcad
Summary:
SELinux is preventing exim (exim_t) getattr boot_t.
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by exim. It is not expected that this access is
required by exim and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
