Today is my first day of working with SELinux (so forgive any terminology mixups), newly discovered after it blocked a disclaimer script I was using in conjunction with altermime to attach text to e-mail being processed by postfix. Anyway, having been pointed at a very helpful HOWTO on the CentOS pages I was able to work through the first few flagged issues. But now I've run into one I want a different solution for than "add more permissions to existing type". One of the elements of the script is writing to /var/spool/filter, a directory used for no other purpose. I believe it wishes to create subfolders, something SELinux is not allowing under the CentOS 5.2 type var_spool_t. I tried changing the type to postfix_spool_t, but this had the same problem. Rather than setup a module which grants permissions that postfix_spool_t doesn't need, I'd like to setup a new type and assign it to this directory. Problem is, I haven't been able to find documentation on how to do this, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
