Subject: What's SELinux doing to me?

Hi;

Set up my upstairs Epson Stylus Color 740 which is attached to a
WindowsXP computer through the Fedora 7 printer config gui.  My SElinux
is in permissive mode.  I received the following error/denial.  My
current project is understanding Samba.  I am not ready to climb into
SELinux.  So, please how do I fix this so I can print something?
(The /tmp/gedit.bill.2675579933 was test file)

Summary
    SELinux is preventing the /usr/bin/smbspool from using potentially
    mislabeled files (/tmp/gedit.bill.2675579933).

Detailed Description
    SELinux has denied /usr/bin/smbspool access to potentially
mislabeled
    file(s) (/tmp/gedit.bill.2675579933).  This means that SELinux will
not
    allow /usr/bin/smbspool to use these files.  It is common for users
to edit
    files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv)
them to
    system directories.  The problem is that the files end up with the
wrong
    file context which confined applications are not allowed to access.

Allowing Access
    If you want /usr/bin/smbspool to access this files, you need to
relabel them
    using restorecon -v /tmp/gedit.bill.2675579933.  You might want to
relabel
    the entire directory using restorecon -R -v /tmp.

Bill,

Have you tried to do what they recommend you to do

Allowing Access
    If you want /usr/bin/smbspool to access this files, you need to
relabel them
    using restorecon -v /tmp/gedit.bill.2675579933.  You might want to
relabel
    the entire directory using restorecon -R -v /tmp.


Become root user su -
# restorecon -v /tmp/gedit.bill.2675579933
and you might want to 
# restorecon -R -v /tmp
if the above did not help.

Hope this helps,

Antonio .
