[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#374406: cupsys: admin page shows permission denied and access rights seem strange.

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

on the http://localhost:631/admin page, I get the following error
message:

Unable to open cupsd.conf file:

    Permission denied

and if I try to call "Edit Configuration File", I get:

Error:

    Broken pipe

Also the group access rights in the CUPS config directory do not seem (to me)
really consistent:

Sometimes root, sometimes lp and sometimes lpadmin (my normal user
belongs to lpadmin, but not to lp). Also it sounds strange to have
specific lp group ownership without any access rights for this group.
I have "SystemGroup lpadmin" in cupsd.conf. cupsd runs as root.

Tell me if you need more information.

Thanks, Eric
