Does anybody know of any problems with the new SELinux installed in
Fedora Core 4? I have OpenLDAP 2.2.23-5 installed and use it for my user
accounts. Fedora (throught the system-auth PAM module and nsswitch) will
log in correctly, but dovecot (version 0.99.14-4.fc4) and apache
(version 2.0.54-10) cannot connect to the ldap server when SELinux is
enabled. I use dovecot-ldap.conf for dovecot to get the users and their
home directories. In Apache, I use basic authentication through LDAP to
protect a WebDAV accessible folder. For a long time, I thought Dovecot
wasn't working correctly, but after I set up Apache and it too didn't
work with OpenLDAP, I came to think that SELinux is blocking something.
Now the problem is I am not well enough informed about SELinux to be
able to debug where the problem may reside.
This is the message I get in /var/log/maillog when SELinux is enabled:
Jun 28 17:21:14 netserv dovecot-auth: LDAP: ldap_result() failed:
Can't contact LDAP server
And this is the error I get in /etc/httpd/logs/mydomain.com-error_log
[Tue Jun 28 17:21:37 2005] [warn] [client 192.168.1.1] [5962]

I can get you SELinux contexts for certain files if you need them, but I
don't have a clue on which ones to include.
Look in /var/log/audit/audit.log, particularly for messages with the
type=AVC prefix. SELinux permission denials are now logged there by the
audit daemon (previously they would go to /var/log/messages). And
report them to fedora-selinux-list.
Ok. I've been told (as you can see above) to report this problem to this
list instead of fedora-list (Just used a mailing list for the first time
yesterday, so I'm still learning about them). As you can see above, I'm
having a problem with SELinux and Dovecot and Apache. After looking
through my audit.log file, these are the lines I thought were most
important.
This is what I found concerning apache:

And this is what I found concerning Dovecot:

Both of these sets were repeated multiple times throughout the log.
