Re: exim: SELinux



Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been on the road and unable
to access my Fedora box. So after a little grief with SELinux and
permissions I have a log file of exim. I'd post it here but it's 724
lines long. I looked for boot in the file but came up empty. Is
there some snippet of the file that I could post?

Here's what I did:

     In the past, this would result in an AVC error; but not this time.
     BTW, there was one new message in my mail file as a result of this.

Sadly, starting exim in that way will not give it the same SELinux context
as it would get when run by the init process.  If you stop the service and
"service exim start", it should get its old context, and the AVC messages
should return.  That'll get you back to where you can debug the problem.
