SELINUX_ERR about sendmail (postfix version) on F-13

[Laurent Rineau]

For a few days (maybe two weeks), my cron deamon keeps sending me error emails, once a day:
> /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch:

> Can't execute /usr/sbin/sendmail -t: Permission denied

I have suspected SELinux, but the setroubleshot stuff did not say anything. And I eventually found that:

lrineau@matisse ~ $ sudo ausearch -ts yesterday -m SELINUX_ERR

I did not know about SELINUX_ERR before that error. Maybe setroubleshotd should be aware of it, so that one can report bugs about SELINUX_ERR easily with the applet.

My configuration is this one:

lrineau@matisse ~ $ rpm -qa postfix selinux*               
selinux-policy-3.7.19-39.fc13.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-39.fc13.noarch
postfix-2.7.0-1.fc13.x86_64

logwatch and postfix are configured with the default configurations, tweak only the simpliest way.

Open a bug on the setroubleshoot issue.

yum update selinux-policy-targeted --enablerepo=updates-testing

Should fix logwatch issue.
