dovecot 2.0 renames some files from 1.x and needs some additional policy: File contexts: /etc/dovecot(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:dovecot_etc_t,s0) /usr/libexec/dovecot/auth -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:dovecot_auth_exec_t,s0) /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:dovecot_deliver_exec_t,s0) Rules: type dovecot_tmp_t; files_tmp_file(dovecot_tmp_t) manage_dirs_pattern(dovecot_t, dovecot_tmp_t, dovecot_tmp_t) manage_files_pattern(dovecot_t, dovecot_tmp_t, dovecot_tmp_t) files_tmp_filetrans(dovecot_t, dovecot_tmp_t, { file dir }) allow dovecot_t self:capability kill; allow dovecot_t dovecot_auth_t:process signal; With those additions, I've got dovecot 2.0 running in my simple PAM-based environment, leaving just the following AVC: type=AVC msg=audit(1269955050.887:91063): avc: denied { write } for pid=15315 comm="dovecot" name="dovecot.conf" dev=dm-6 ino=11454 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:dovecot_etc_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1269955050.887:91063): arch=c000003e syscall=42 success=no exit=-13 a0=4 a1=7fffa5620390 a2=6e a3=7fffa5620220 items=0 ppid=15314 pid=15315 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts2 ses=2219 comm="dovecot" exe="/usr/sbin/dovecot" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 key=(null) I haven't figured out where that's coming from yet but it looks far too suspicious to allow, and doesn't seem to break anything when it's not allowed.
