selinux-policy-targeted 1.25.4-10 and dovecot: msg#00130

Subject: selinux-policy-targeted 1.25.4-10 and dovecot
I notice in the changelog that a recent change was:

* Wed Aug 17 2005 Dan Walsh <dwalsh@xxxxxxxxxx> 1.25.4-4
- Add more access for amanda
- Allow dovecot to create files in mail_spool_t

Having installed the updated policy this morning, I found I had to add a local rule:

allow dovecot_t mail_spool_t:file write;

This is needed to allow dovecot to delete mail from the mail spool file (I use dovecot in pop3 mode). I'm surprised this wasn't the default - is there a good reason why it isn't?

Cheers, Paul.

P.S. there is still a problem with pptp - in pppd.fc

# Fix pptp sockets
/var/run/pptp(/.*)?     --      system_u:object_r:pptp_var_run_t

should read:

# Fix pptp sockets
/var/run/pptp(/.*)?             system_u:object_r:pptp_var_run_t

because /var/run/pptp is a directory and the items in that directory should be sockets, not regular files.
