Re: Spamassassin emails have wrong perms -- CC'ed to selinux list

I'm cc-ing this to the fedora-selinux-list. I think some of the problems may be applicable there.

OK, after some more testing, when I disable SELinux, many of the errors go away. First of all, I get rid of the error message saying user can not be found and with it the 'still running as root' error. Second, it is able to access the bayes_journal file (as long as normal unix permissions are right, which I've figured out). So I guess the problem is an SELinux issue which I can't solve. I'd attach some avc error messages, but I can't seem to find any. I've looked in maillog, secure, and messages, but nothing.

Have you looked in the audit log, where all such messages are usually found ?

/var/log/audit.log

Below is what showed up in audit/audit.log when I sent a message through
spamassassin. I'm _*really*_ rusty on SELinux...it's the one thing I
have to deal with quite often that I haven't been able to learn how to
use...it's so foreign to me. I've never looked in audit.log before: the
avc messages used to show up in messages, but now as far back as my logs
go, I don't have a single avc message. This all looks like jibberish to
me, so I need your guy's help.

Thanks,
Justin
