Hi all,
This morning I got several of the following message:
Raw Audit Messages
avc: denied { search } for comm="procmail" dev=sdb6 egid=0 euid=0
exe="/usr/bin/procmail" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="root"

subj=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=dir
tcontext=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0
It looks like procmail is trying to do *something*. I would just like to
find out what it is that procmail is trying to do. So I could see
whether it is legitemate.
I do assume procmail knows what it is doing, but before I relable the
system (as indicated in the explanation) I would just like to know:
shouldn't the SELinux be fitted to procmail in some way?
Is there a way I can get this accomplished i.e. can I report this to
procmail as a bug?

P.S. I include the complete message, maybe it helps.
============ Explanatory message ======================
Summary
SELinux is preventing access to files with the default label,
default_t.
Detailed Description
SELinux permission checks on files labeled default_t are being denied.
These files/directories have the default label on them. This can
indicate a
labeling problem, especially if the files being referred to are
not top
level directories. Any files/directories under standard system
directories,
/usr, /var. /dev, /tmp, ..., should not be labeled with the default
label.
The default label is for files/directories which do not have a
label on a
parent directory. So if you create a new directory in / you might
legitimately get this label.
Allowing Access
If you want a confined domain to use these files you will probably
need to
relabel the file/directory with chcon. In some cases it is just
easier to
relabel the system, to relabel execute: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
