I tried changing cups.te to 'r_dir_file(cupsd_config_t, rpm_var_lib_t), but this generated more problems shown below (killall avcs remain too). Not sure what broke..... Below is a 'permissive' set of avcs after adding 'r_dir_file(cupsd_config_t, rpm_var_lib_t)' to cups.te tom Oct 26 09:28:03 fedora udev[5101]: removing device node '/dev/usb/lp0' Oct 26 09:28:03 fedora kernel: usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 5 Oct 26 09:28:03 fedora kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: removed Oct 26 09:28:03 fedora dbus: avc: received setenforce notice (enforcing=0) Oct 26 09:28:06 fedora kernel: audit(1098808086.993:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=5145 exe=/usr/sbin/alternatives path=/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups dev=hda2 ino=4473100 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:08 fedora kernel: audit(1098808088.697:0): avc: denied { ioctl } for pid=5146 exe=/usr/bin/perl path=/usr/share/foomatic/db/oldprinterids dev=hda2 ino=4277183 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:09 fedora kernel: audit(1098808089.932:0): avc: denied { execute } for pid=5154 exe=/usr/bin/perl name=hostname dev=hda2 ino=229432 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:hostname_exec_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:09 fedora kernel: audit(1098808089.933:0): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=5154 exe=/usr/bin/perl path=/bin/hostname dev=hda2 ino=229432 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:hostname_exec_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:09 fedora kernel: audit(1098808089.933:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=5154 exe=/usr/bin/perl path=/bin/hostname dev=hda2 ino=229432 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:hostname_exec_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:12 fedora kernel: audit(1098808092.679:0): avc: denied { search } for pid=5166 exe=/usr/bin/killall name=selinux dev=hda2 ino=4509743 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:selinux_config_t tclass=dir Oct 26 09:28:12 fedora kernel: audit(1098808092.679:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=5166 exe=/usr/bin/killall name=config dev=hda2 ino=4509759 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:selinux_config_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:12 fedora kernel: audit(1098808092.679:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=5166 exe=/usr/bin/killall path=/etc/selinux/config dev=hda2 ino=4509759 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:selinux_config_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:12 fedora kernel: audit(1098808092.680:0): avc: denied { search } for pid=5166 exe=/usr/bin/killall name=1 dev=proc ino=65538 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t tclass=dir Oct 26 09:28:12 fedora kernel: audit(1098808092.680:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=5166 exe=/usr/bin/killall name=stat dev=proc ino=65549 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t tclass=file Oct 26 09:28:12 fedora kernel: audit(1098808092.681:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=5166 exe=/usr/bin/killall path=/proc/1/stat dev=proc ino=65549 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t tclass=file <<<<SNIP Scads more killall avcs.....>>>> -- Tom London
