Every once in awhile I get these spurious message, high CPU usage, repeated denials > 512 times and then it quits. I do not have ypbind, nis, nor nfs installed. I even tried /.autorelabel and same issue comes up. I do have spamassassin installed though. So how do I resolve this? =================================================== Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from binding to port 32726. Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the spamassassin from binding to a network port 32726 which does not have an SELinux type associated with it. If spamassassin should be allowed to listen on 32726, use the semanage command to assign 32726 to a port type that spamc_t can bind to (). If spamassassin is not supposed to bind to 32726, this could signal an intrusion attempt. Allowing Access: If you want to allow spamassassin to bind to port 32726, you can execute # semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p udp 32726 where PORT_TYPE is one of the following: . If this system is running as an NIS Client, turning on the allow_ypbind boolean may fix the problem. setsebool -P allow_ypbind=1.
