Everyone,
I recently had a disc drive failure on a centos 5.8 internal mail server. I replaced the drive and installed centos 6.3. I had selinux turned off on the 5.8 machine, and with the upgrade to 6.3 decided to leave selinux active with the hopes I had learned enough to be able to use it.
I have a couple of perl scripts that are activated by email that prints the contents of the mail packet on a printer. I have been able to fix the temporary directories that are used with changes of selinux permissions, but I have not been able to make everything work with the command :
$arg = ("lp -o raw -d $LPT $MAILFILEO"); system($arg);
I get the following log entry :
Can't exec "lp": Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/s.printer.process line 190, <FILEI> line 19.
Any ideas how I can get 'lp' to accept usage from the 'mail' user account? Everything works ok when selinux is turned off. I would like to keep it on at this point.
Thanks,
Greg Ennis
