...if selinux is in permissive mode, i can connect without any problem.
cyrus is set to disabled btw.

Citing from the SELinux list:

<quote>
If you take the number after the ':' in the serial number and use
ausearch, you
can make this more understandable. Try:

ausearch -i -a 286451

See if that makes it easier to understand.

In your case run:
ausearch -i -a 9657218

[root@link ~]# ausearch -i -a 9657218
----

ausearch -i -a 9659874

[root@link ~]# ausearch -i -a 9659874
----

Something broke with selinux-policy-targeted-1.25.3-6 update from last
Thursday? Did your setup run before?

Alexander

perhaps it is because i updated from fc3 recently? could be a reason.
Do you have any idea?
