Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Well, after alot of trying i did a fixfiles relabel and right after that a touch /.autorelabel and rebooted the machine, and dovecot works again.
I still don't know what went wrong, but it works again.

First of all, i'm hoping i'm posting this the right way, but i've tried everything that i know
 
I'm having problems with Dovecot, and i've asked for help in #fedore on freenode.net, without success and they adviced me to post it here.
This is the error i get in /var/log/audit/audit.log when i start dovecot using webmin
type=AVC msg=audit(1134174789.681:11): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=2908 comm="dovecot" name="dovecot" dev=dm-0 ino=67858 scontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t tclass=dir

On my screen i get "Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: unlink_directory() failed for /var/run/dovecot-login: Permission denied"
 
When i try to start dovecot using "service dovecot start" or /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start i get "Starting Dovecot Imap:                                     [FAILED]"
 
I've allready tried a fixfiles and even a touch /.autorelabel without luck.
 
The system is fully updated with yum, and removing/adding dovecot doesn't make a difference.
 
 
I Hope someone can help.
 
Thanks
