I am having a problem with cupsd on my FC8 box. Namely, it only seems to want to start on reboot. If I try to start it later I get:
# service cups start Starting cups: /bin/bash: /usr/sbin/cupsd: Permission denied [FAILED]
and then audit.log sayeth: type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1197478409.420:673): security_compute_sid: invalid context user_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 for scontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cupsd_exec_t:s0 tclass=process
This seems to be the same bug as in #390391: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390391
but none of the fixes in that seemed to work.
More detail can be found at the bug, but I thought I'd ask here in case the answer was well known and my bugzilla-search-fu was lacking.
Thanks for any help, Matt Thompson
That bug was resolved. Policy 68 should correct the default file context for the administrator, which will allow them to start and stop the service.
