Fwd: Proprietary telnet daemon fails login when SELinux is enabled

[Maurizio D'Antonio]

Hi, Dave
If I understand your problem you need add this port 52000 in the
ports.local file for inherit the correct selinux context.

The command is:

root at localhost # semanage port -a -t telnetd_port_t -p tcp 52000

and probably you need enable the appropriate boolean because you have
a denied { entrypoint } for qmail_t domain.

Try
