Hello,
I want to allow the plugin Administration in squirrelmail. I already  
set up the user to use it but it can not save the settings to the  
configuration file when I use it.
Even though I have the owner of the file set to apache and the  
permissions to 777 I keep getting denied writing access to that file  
in audit.log
Here is the message I get:

type=PATH msg=audit(1121192142.580:2223212): item=0 name="/usr/share/ 
squirrelmail/config/config.php" flags=310  inode=1376614 dev=fd:00

scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:usr_t tclass=file

How can I get writing access to that file?
Thanks
EJ
