SA problem, selinux seems to be killing spamassassin

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

 



Greetings;

I get home tonight with the spam going wild, so I restart spamassassin, and 
get another copy of this:


Summary:

SELinux is preventing spamd(/usr/bin/perl) (spamd_t) "kill" to <Unknown>
(spamd_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by spamd(/usr/bin/perl). It is not expected 
that
this access is required by spamd(/usr/bin/perl) 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.
