Postfix/mailman problem
I've got an FC4 x86_64 system with the targeted policy. I'm only
just beginning to understand SELinux, after reading the O'Reilly book.
I'm trying to use the Postfix MTA with GNU Mailman, using the
postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py script. I put the script in
/usr/lib/mailman/bin, but it fails. /var/log/maillog says:
Mar 1 17:26:34 donnybrook pipe[10056]: fatal: pipe_comand: execvp
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py: Permission denied

/var/log/audit/audit.log says:

ino=786433
scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_pipe_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:mailman_queue_exec_t tclass=file
As root, I tried:
% chcon -u system_u -r system_r -t postfix_pipe_t postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py
chcon: failed to change context of postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py to
system_u:system_r:postfix_pipe_t: Permission denied
Why can't I do that, or what should I do instead to make this work?
Thanks!
