dovecot - Aug 2006 - (no subject)

Ok, I tried:
sh -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start
and it started ok.

Then I tried:
sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start
and it started ok too.

However, simply using:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start
won't start.

On a hunch, I disabled SELinux, and then:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start
started ok.

So I have an SELinux problem.  Right now I'm doing a filesystem relabel.

If that doesn't work, does anyone know where to go from here?

What does "ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot" say?
Have you set the executable bit for this file?
