Re: [CentOS] SELinux and Perl script using sendmail

Miark wrote:

I have a webpage feedback form that uses a Perl script to send e-mails with "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t". It works just fine, but SELinux is complaining about it:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/postdrop (postfix_postdrop_t) "getattr" to pipe:[41117] (httpd_t)

I'm a SELinux newb so I don't know what (if anything) to do about it. Suggestions?

grep postfix /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M myrule

will create a .te and .pp file which are a module that you can load to tell SELinux to allow the above. myrule.te is a plaintext file which you can examine.

If it looks good, you can then do: semodule -i myrule.pp

to install the module into SELinux.
