I am attempting to use qmailadmin offered by http://www.inter7.com/ This is implemented by a plugin in squirrelmail. The program qmailadmin allows users to change their vpopmail passwords through the web interface.
Solutions found when searching for an answer all states "selinux enforcing will not allow qmailadmin to set uid". "Disable selinux if it is enabled".
This is not a solution I'm willing to accept.
vpopmail directory has this context:
# vpopmail vchkpw user_u:object_r:user_home_t
Summary:
SELinux is preventing the qmailadmin from using potentially mislabeled files (./1294101113.qw).
Detailed Description:
SELinux has denied qmailadmin access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (./1294101113.qw). This means that SELinux will not allow qmailadmin to use these files.

Also this one follows:
SELinux is preventing the qmailadmin from using potentially mislabeled files (/home/vpopmail/domains/atmyhome.org/kris_s/Maildir/1294101113.qw).
Detailed Description:
[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.]
SELinux has denied qmailadmin access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (/home/vpopmail/domains/atmyhome.org/kris_s/Maildir/1294101113.qw). This means that SELinux will not allow qmailadmin to use these files.
Allowing Access:
If you want qmailadmin to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v '/home/vpopmail/domains/atmyhome.org/kris_s/Maildir/1294101113.qw'.

I am thinking that vpopmail should not have the context of user_home_t even though it is in the /home directory. But what to change the context to I'm not sure.
Bless you all
