[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#350668: cupsys: /etc/init.d/cupsys (stop|restart) works only when cupsd is running as root

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-12
Severity: normal

When cupsd is running as unprivileged user like 'cupsys' by using
'RunAsUser' directive on cupsd.conf, /etc/init.d/cupsys (stop|restart)
does not work.

It's because of start-stop-daemon's '--user root' option. Just removing 
this option, the problem could be fixed.
