audit.log entries generated after setenforce 0, for service hpoj restart; service cups restart none

Description Alexandre Oliva 2005-05-20 20:48:54 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Fedora/1.0.4-2 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
A ptal (hpoj)-controlled printer doesn't work if targeted policy is in enforcing mode.  Upon service hpoj restart, /var/log/messages will contain messages such as:

ptal-mlcd: FATAL ERROR at ParPort.cpp:48, dev=<mlc:par:OfficeJet_Series_700>, pid=4471, e=1, t=1116621163         Access denied to parallel
port!

xojpanel doesn't work.  Oddly, if I start ptal-init to reconfigure the device, then mlcd starts successfully, and xojpanel works.

setenforce 0 followed by service hpoj restart; service cups restart enables the printer to work, logging to audit.log entries that audit2allow translates to:

allow cupsd_config_t devpts_t:chr_file { getattr ioctl };
allow ptal_t printer_device_t:chr_file getattr;
allow ptal_t self:capability sys_rawio;


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.16-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot up with hpoj enabled, configured to control a ptal printer

Actual Results:  The printer won't work.  Restarting hpoj logs messages indicating mlcd couldn't access the printer device.

Expected Results:  It should have been brought up successfully.

It's not in rawhide yet (we still have -6).  Any chance it could make to FC4?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2005-05-31 20:35:31 UTC
I will start backporting as soon as fc4 is Released.  Everything is frozen.

Not quite.  Major bugs and regressions can still be fixed, and broken printer
does qualify as a big one for me.  Anyhow, your call...  I'm away until Saturday
evening.
