dproc@dol.net:
My permission checks follow:
chmod g+ -v /usr mode of /usr retained as 0765 (rwxrw-r-x)
These look ok to me.
/usr looks odd. why not 755? or 775 if needed. but a directory should have execution permission set.
Thank you for your eagle eyes Peter, that was exactly it. I will leave until some day I am surfing the kernel sources to ask why unsetting the group execute permission on /usr only affected 'lp' and then only as a daemon child. Others may want to ask if it was dproc's carelessness that caused the problem, or something in harden_suse. Me - I am deliriously happy to be printing. Bye.
