Running targeted, latest development stuff.

Configuring a 'new' USB printer from 'Desktop->System
Settings->Printing' produces a wealth of avcs like:

Mar 23 08:08:14 localhost kernel: audit(1111594094.345:0): avc: 
denied  { read } for  pid=19983 exe=/usr/sbin/cupsd path=pipe:[194059]
dev=pipefs ino=194059 scontext=root:system_r:cupsd_t
tcontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t tclass=fifo_file
Mar 23 08:08:14 localhost kernel: audit(1111594094.345:0): avc: 
denied  { write } for  pid=19983 exe=/usr/sbin/cupsd
path=pipe:[194059] dev=pipefs ino=194059
scontext=root:system_r:cupsd_t tcontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t
tclass=fifo_file

Appears to be asking for
allow cupsd_t unconfined_t:fifo_file { read write };

This denial appears not to cause a problem, since the printer works.
Should this be a 'dontaudit'? Something else (like a missing
transition)?

thanks,
