I installed FC6 on an Intel box. I configured Dovecot with basic changes to /etc/dovecot.conf, e.g. protocols = pop3 pop3s etc.
I also configured: log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log in this configuration file. It does not start Dovecot if I give the log_path variable. If I do not define it starts Dovecot ok.
If I switch off Dovecot service to start on boot and start it manually after boot, it starts off perfectly even if the log_path variable is defined as above. I am not sure what is happening.
If I give the command to start dovecot in /etc/rc.d/rc.local with the log_path variable set as given above it gives an error which looks like:
audit(.......): avc: denied { search } for pid 2316 comm="dovecot" name="log" dev=sda6 ino=848641 scontext=system_u: system_r:dovecot_t:s0
Is this related to SELinux? I have the firewall and SELinux enabled.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this.
turn off SeLinux off by [root@system ~]# setenforce 1
