Well, after alot of trying i did a fixfiles relabel and right after that a touch
/.autorelabel and rebooted the machine, and dovecot works again.
I still don't know what went wrong, but it works again.

  First of all, i'm hoping i'm posting this the right way, but i've tried
everything that i know

  I'm having problems with Dovecot, and i've asked for help in #fedore on
freenode.net, without success and they adviced me to post it here.
  This is the error i get in /var/log/audit/audit.log when i start dovecot using webmin
  type=AVC msg=audit(1134174789.681:11): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=2908

dev=fd:00 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  On my screen i get "Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: unlink_directory() failed for
/var/run/dovecot-login: Permission denied"

  When i try to start dovecot using "service dovecot start" or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start i get "Starting Dovecot Imap:                         
           [FAILED]"

  I've allready tried a fixfiles and even a touch /.autorelabel without luck.

  The system is fully updated with yum, and removing/adding dovecot doesn't make a
difference.


  I Hope someone can help.

  Thanks
