Greetings,
I'm running dovecot 2.3.21.1 (Plesk says up-to-date).
I'm getting this repeated error in /var/log/messages...
"SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/auth from write access on the file passwd.db."
(I think passwd.db is the one in /var/lib/plesk/mail/auth/)
This causes...
"Activating via systemd: service name='org.fedoraproject.Setroubleshootd'"
which is taking a lot of CPU.
This error is happening continuously, about 1-3 times per minute.
Am I correct in thinking that an email client or webmail client is trying to change an email account password via IMAP?
If so, I would like to know how to disable this ability in dovecot. (I would like to change email account passwords only via Plesk.)
If not, why is dovecot trying to write to the passwd.db file? The fact that SELinux is blocking this is concerning.
thanks,
JC
