On F11 when exim attempts to retrieve mail from my ISP, I get the following: Summary: SELinux is preventing exim (exim_t) "getattr" boot_t. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by exim. It is not expected that this access is required by exim and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

I've looked for '/boot' in exim config files but came up empty. I installed F11 but kept my home directory which is on a different disk. Since I have not heard anyone else complaining about this, I figure that it's my configuration. I just don't know where else to look.
