RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matěj Cepl 2017-10-20 09:52:36 UTC
Description of problem:
I have no idea how this could relate to CUPS (I was doing nothing about the printing at the moment), but I was connecting to the remote computer via ssh.

I have not had key for that computer in my ~/.ssh/known_hosts (or actually, I have remove the previous version of the key).
I have no clue how it relates, but I did nothing about CUPS, but was logging via ssh to the other computer on my LAN, where I have not been before (or where I removed previous key from ~/.ssh/known_hosts).

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket /run/cups/cups.sock.

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

If you believe that gnome-settings-daemon should be allowed connectto access on the cups.sock unix_stream_socket 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:
# ausearch -c 'gnome-settings-' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gnomesettings
# semodule -i my-gnomesettings.pp

This should be allowed. I believe its caused by new version of gnome.
