[F8] Sendmail, SpamAssasin, ClamAV and SELinux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



SELinux is preventing Sendmail from accessing spamass-milter.sock
and clamav-milter.sock in their respective /var/run subdirectories.

The /var/run/{clamav-milter,spamass-milter} attributes are:

/var/run/clamav-milter				var_run_t
/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.sock:		var_run_t

/var/run/spamass-milter				var_run_t
/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock:	spamd_var_run

The MAIN problem is that even though it is NOT a problem starting
the spamassasin and clamav programs but the sendmail program
fails to start up because sendmail is denied permissions to access
the clamav and spamass milter directory/file in /var/run areas.

The sendmail.mc(cf) file has input-filters installed in them so that is
why sendmail wants to use the clamav and spamassasin filters but
is prevented from doing so due to selinux access permission denials.

Sendmail has sendmail_t selinux tags but how is it allowed to access
either of the above sock files if no selinux tags are assigned to neither?

Please advise.

Thanks!
Dan
