Description Joseph D. Wagner 2009-06-21 21:37:39 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing python (hplip_t) "read" security_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this access
is required by python 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:

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.

You can add these rules now using

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
