I have seen this denial twice in the last few days - and I think it is new to my system. I'm not sure whether recent updates have caused it - or whether my system has entered a new phase for some other reason. I can't think of any obvious changes I have made. Any suggestions would be welcome: Summary SELinux is preventing postdrop (postfix_postdrop_t) "getattr" to /var/log/httpd/error_log (httpd_log_t). Detailed Description [SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.] SELinux denied access requested by postdrop. It is not expected that this access is required by postdrop 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 Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for /var/log/httpd/error_log, restorecon -v '/var/log/httpd/error_log' If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, 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.
