Cannot play audio cds

[Matthew East]

Hello,

I am unable to play audio cds as user with selinux as enforcing. I use
FC2T3, and gnome. When opening an audio cd with gnome cd player, it
gives me the error: "Disk error" and cdp gives me:

"[matt@localhost matt]$ cdp
As root, please run
 
chmod 666 /dev/cdrom
 
to give yourself permission to access the CD-ROM device."

I have tried doing "chmod 666 /dev/hdc" (this has no effect). If I set
selinux to permissive, and do the command, the cd player then works.

I hope that you can help me, as I am not up to scratch with how selinux
works.

Thanks in advance, Matt

Please give us the AVC messages related to this.  The easiest way of doing so 
is to run "dmesg | tail" immediately after the command fails.

Probably the same issue as this open 'boog' (the avc should match the
bug).  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121916

I relabel the cd devices manually as removable_device_t.  Daniel Walsh
said that determining which devices should be labeled removable.. and
which are really fixed disks is still an unsolved problem for policy.
# chcon -t removable_device_t /dev/hdc

(no rush on this.. fc2 release consumed alot of time I am sure) :P

Well I didn't get this AVC message, but another error message during
booting (sorry I haven't conserved it) but I am convinced it is the same
thing, as relabelling it as a removable_device_t has done the trick.
THANKS!!
