Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2008-08-18 10:54:10 UTC
The problem here is the file got created with the incorrect context.

 matchpathcon /dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fvirtual\x2fmisc\x2ftun
/dev/.udev/db/x2fdevicesx2fvirtualx2fmiscx2ftun	system_u:object_r:udev_tbl_t:s0


If you run restorecon -R -v /dev/.udev

the printer should work.

What process created the file?

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2008-08-18 14:36:30 UTC
udev I expect.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2008-09-02 14:03:40 UTC
why should this special file be different than the others? strange.

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2009-01-20 11:46:03 UTC
is this still a problem?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2009-01-20 15:52:19 UTC
The file should be the same.  The question is why is it different?  I do not know if this is still a problem?

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 02:29:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2009-06-10 11:16:55 UTC
I am closing this since we did not know if it was a problem 6 months ago.
