CUPS restart-jobs permission
Fellow Debian Users,
I have a _closed_ network (not connected to the internet) on which I have a
Debian server with CUPS installed.
I have done a fair amount of searching, but I cannot figure out how I can
configure CUPS to allow _anyone_ to restart a completed job.
I understand that this would probably qualify as a security risk on a non-closed
system, but that doesn't apply here.
I just want to allow anyone on the network to go to the CUPS web page, click on
the "jobs" button, click on the "completed jobs" button, and then be able to
restart a completed job.
My log file shows this:
E [21/Jun/2005:16:40:04 -0700] restart_job: "" not authorized to restart job id
1659 owned by "nobody"!
D [21/Jun/2005:16:40:04 -0700] Sending error: client-error-forbidden
I've searched the mailing list archives, google, and everything else I can think
of.
Logging in as root and restarting a job works fine, but needless to say, I'd
rather not hand out the root password to the system, but if I can't figure out
how else to go about this, I'm considering it, simply because matters of "trust"
are not an issue here, nor are attacks from the outside.
Anyhow, thanks to anyone who can help.
