This occurs as the result of a procmail rule. Hopefully, the result from audit2allow is the right thing here: allow procmail_t user_home_t:file execute_no_trans; Am I going to have to jump through SELinux hoops every time I want to use a bit of my own code??? Right now I'm spending far more time fighting with SELinux than I would _ever_ have to spend cleaning up from an unlikely breakin. With little hope of ever getting to enforcing mode, perhaps it would be best just to disable entirely. Summary: SELinux is preventing /bin/gawk "execute" access on /var/home/rnichols/mail/spamstrings.sh. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by spamstrings.sh. It is not expected that this access is required by spamstrings.sh 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.
