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...

Still having problems with SELinux and Dovecot: msg#00095

Subject: Still having problems with SELinux and Dovecot
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Well, i still have problems with SELinux and Dovecot, when i do a reboot i get a error
Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf: Permission denied
 
and in the audit.log i find this error
 
type=AVC msg=audit(1134595859.843:208): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=26990 comm="dovecot" name="dovecot.conf" dev=dm-0 ino=197586 scontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t tclass=file

I can only fix this by doing a "fixfiles relabel" and "touch ./autorelabel" and then it works again, till the next reboot..
 
Is there a way to fix this? or is there a way to exclude dovecot from SELinux??
