Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.20
Severity: normal
Hi there!
While reading /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.txt.gz, I
found the following entry:
Chapter 2. Users and Groups
[...]
sys
HELP: As with bin, except I don't even know what it was good for
historically.
I'm told that /var/spool/cups is owned by group sys, dunno why.
The latter, however, is not the case anymore since at least lenny, where
/var/spool/cups is root:lp and 710. The same is true on squeeze.
Unfortunately, there is nothing useful in the cups changelog.Debian,
maybe the Debian CUPS Maintainers (cc:ed) know better ;-)
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
