[Dovecot] selinux
Probably a very know problem but I fail to find a solution.
selinux enforced makes the /etc/init.d/dovecot start command fail
If I change it to permiscious mode then it works.
Any idea how to solve this?
I use FC5 with dovecot-1.0-0.beta2.7
Thanks, Alfred

Try "service dovecot start" instead.

Start by logging a bug in the Fedora Core tracking system at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ if one hasn't been filed for that matter already.
I know that's not going to fix your immediate problem, but it means that it is very likely to be fixed upstream and will in turn then fixed in the next update to selinux for FC5. Until then use the workaround outlined by another poster - "service dovecot start".
There's no reason why selinux can't be made to work with dovecot....it perhaps just needs some minor debugging and bug reporting ;-)

It *does* normally work. And "service dovecot start" isn't a workaround, it's the proper mechanism for starting services.
