Hi, folks. We've just started running the dovecot IMAP server on an SL 5 (x86_64) system. We're having trouble connecting to the server because selinux won't allow it. I've appended some example messages. If we run the indicated sealert commands, we get some potentially useful information, but I wonder if anybody has a convenient summary of the steps required to permanently allow access to dovecot. If so, will you please send them to me? Thanks. - Mike Nov 13 23:47:23 xxxxxx setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/dovecot (dovecot_t) "create" access to <Unknown> (dovecot_t).
