Package: cupsys

Severity: normal


{root@tea:~}# lppasswd -a root

lppasswd: Unable to open password file: Permission denied

stracing lppasswd reveals that it is trying to create /etc/cups/passwd.new

Temporarily chmod'ing og+w /etc/cups reveals that passwd.new is created as user "lp", but /etc/cups is owned by root.

Note: The man page says lppasswd is setuid root, but ls -l shows that on Debian it is setuid lp. Therefore it does not work because it has no write access to /etc/cups

This bug no longer applies to current versions in repositories.
(It was fixed in 1.3.7-5 and current stable release is 1.3.8.1+lenny8)
So, it can be closed.

Thanks,
