Description Gianluca Sforna 2011-10-08 10:09:13 UTC
This is what I got when I plugged my USB printer to my laptop, Fedora 16 Beta.

It seems the printer was properly configured anyway

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that serial should be allowed write access on the ttyUSB0 chr_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep serial /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
