Hey guys,

I've been getting some strange selinux messages after the 5.3 upgrade.
It appears as though my mail system (postfix) is constantly trying to
access the rpm database? Here's the audit messages (I tend to look at
my selinux messages using audit2allow < /var/log/audit.log as I find
it easier to read quickly):

Does anyone know what these accesses are? And why they might be still
continously triggering for the mail system, where as all the other
packages have stopped causing them?

Also, on a related note, is it normally best practices to 'setenforce 0'
during a 5.x upgrade? Is it possible I've damaged something by leaving
selinux enabled? Other than the spamassassin issue, the machine seems
to be running ok..

I've seen the same with a bit of php sending mail through a cronjob... I've so far been unable to reproduce it though... The php in question isn't supposed to touch the rpmdb even it was maintaining open file handles when launching sendmail...
