Subject: [exim] Exim selinux errors with F11
Hello,

I upgraded my PC from FC8 to Fedora 11 yesterday. The PC is running exim
4.69. I am seeing the following errors being reported:

type=AVC msg=audit(1252415097.140:36798): avc: denied { getattr }
for pid=32647 comm="exim" path="/boot" dev=sda1 ino=2
scontext=system_u:system_r:exim_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0 tclass=dir

This is an selinux error, and it (basically) says that exim is trying to
look in /boot. I can see absolutely no reason for exim to look there. My
config file makes no reference to /boot; there are no accounts in /boot.

Anyone any ideas why this may be occurring? Why would exim be looking
in /boot, and possibly trying to look in other root-level directories?



Thanks,

John.
