Description of problem:

Every time printing is attempted with cups, several errors regarding to SELinux denying cupsd the ability to manage "subscriptions.conf" show up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-99.fc9.noarch
cups-1.3.9-1.fc9.i386

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to print something to a cupsd managed printer
2. Errors show up; cupsd tries to rename subscriptions.conf to subscriptions.conf.O; then tries to write to subscriptions.conf; then tries to rename subscriptions.conf. All these fail.
3.
  

Raw SELinux audit report:


Summary:

SELinux is preventing cupsd (cupsd_t) "rename" to ./subscriptions.conf.O
(cupsd_etc_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by cupsd. It is not expected that this access is
required by cupsd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore
the default system file context for ./subscriptions.conf.O,

restorecon -v './subscriptions.conf.O'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
