Re: [suse-security] samba problem with cups changing /var/spool/lpd/lp access permissions

Jochen,

You are approaching this problem from the wrong angle; Cups is doing the right thing but I think your Samba is misconfigured. Look in the printers section of your smb.conf and change the path directive to somewhere outside the lpd area that is world-writable. We use /tmp, but you might want to create /var/spool/samba or something.

well, thanks bob, you're right&i'll try.... to be honest i've never thought of that. Jochen
