SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'read' accesses on the chr_file 076. ***** Plugin device (91.4 confidence) suggests ***************************** If you want to allow python to have read access on the 076 chr_file Then you need to change the label on 076 to a type of a similar device. Do # semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE '076' # restorecon -v '076' ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the 076 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 python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:hplip_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 Target Objects 076 [ chr_file ] Source python Source Path /usr/bin/python Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7-8.fc14.1 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-44.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.14-96.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Sep 1 11:59:56 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 219 First Seen Tue 13 Sep 2011 09:08:32 AM EDT Last Seen Wed 14 Sep 2011 11:20:21 PM EDT Local ID 6219ce1e-381e-4e1a-9994-0ee2a31940ec Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1316056821.311:128): avc: denied { read } for pid=5539 comm="python" name="076" dev=devtmpfs ino=40854 scontext=system_u:system_r:hplip_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1316056821.311:128): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fffdb4eacd0 a1=0 a2=d a3=ff items=0 ppid=5536 pid=5539 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=7 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=7 sgid=7 fsgid=7 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=python exe=/usr/bin/python subj=system_u:system_r:hplip_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: python,hplip_t,device_t,chr_file,read audit2allow #============= hplip_t ============== allow hplip_t device_t:chr_file read; audit2allow -R #============= hplip_t ============== allow hplip_t device_t:chr_file read;
I believe everything works as you expect, right? What does ls -Z `find /dev -name 076`
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
