[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#410188: cupsys: spams error_log with "Local authentication certificate not found!" errors every second

[Marc Haber]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4
Severity: normal

$ grep '08/Feb/2007:12.*Local authentication certificate not found!' /var/log/cups/error_log | wc -l
3600
$ grep '08/Feb/2007:12.*Local authentication certificate not found!' /var/log/cups/error_log | head -n 1
E [08/Feb/2007:12:00:01 +0100] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!
$ ls -al /var/log/cups/error_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 794K Feb  8 13:55 /var/log/cups/error_log

Local cupsd is running on a workstation, printing like two jobs a day,
directly to an IPP printer.

What the heck is going on here?

Greetings
Marc
