Hi,

tried successfully installing squirrelmail with mysql authentication. 
After installting the change_mysql-plugin, i got the following message 
in /var/log/messages:

> Jan 31 22:21:53 frodo kernel: audit(1107206513.281:0): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=12823 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=mysql.sock dev=dm-0 ino=360554 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=sock_file

while squirrel's plugin meant, that the database is busy. If i 
understand the above right, selinux didn't let the plugin write the new 
password in the mysql-database.

What can i do (except disabling selinux)?

Thanks,
Roger
