Reasoning: When printing a file as normal user e.g. via user@host$ lp -d queue_name /etc/SuSE-release nothing accesses a file in /var/spool/cups/ directly. Instead the lp program which is run by the normal user connects to the local running cupsd via TCP socket on localhost:631 and sends the content of /etc/SuSE-release to the cupsd. Then the cupsd which runs as root stores the received content as /var/spool/cups/d* data file together with a /var/spool/cups/c* control file which the cupsd has generated to store print job information. Therefore the user does not need any access permissions for /var/spool/cups/ and the cupsd has them all because it runs as root. A blind guess: The only thing which might cause such strange messages could be special security stuff like AppArmor or PolicyKit or SELinux or whatever which can even limit the usually unlimited permissions of a process which runs as root (so that the cupsd could not access /var/spool/cups/). I close it for now as "worksforme". Please reopen if you can provide more detailed step by step information how to reproduce the issue. Perhaps you may also do a complete new Milestone 6 installation from scratch to avoid whatever awkward update problems. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
