I installed a system from the original FC5 disks and updated to

wasnt working for some reason.. no errros to /var/log/messages or
/var/log/secure.. and I completely forgot for a day to look at audit.
That has to be the worst subject I could have come up with. Probably
not enough sleep.

postfix was able to start email but could not do a mailq
doing a mailq showed me things like
allow postfix_local_t initrc_var_run_t:file { read write };
allow postfix_showq_t initrc_var_run_t:file { read write };
type=AVC msg=audit(1159574724.622:397): avc: denied { read write }

scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file
Was caused by:
Missing or disabled TE allow rule.
Allow rules may exist but be disabled by boolean
settings; check boolean settings.
You can see the necessary allow rules by running
audit2allow with this audit message as input.

Not sure what I should do next. Turning off the selinux
