--- Begin Message ---Package: cups Version: 1.4.5-3 Severity: normal Hello, I propose the following change. >From this: drwxr-xr-x 4 root lp 4096 Feb 13 08:35 /etc/cups/ To this: drwxr-xr-x 4 root lpadmin 4096 Feb 13 08:35 /etc/cups/ Following is my rationale: /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.html specifies that the 'lpadmin' group as being able to administer printers. On the other hand, the 'lp' group has direct access to parallel ports, printer spools, etc. Since /etc/cups contains configuration files it is better suited to group ownership by the 'lpadmin' group. Currently the CUPS web-based administration area is administered by anyone in the lpadmin group. Making this change means to those same people can effect similar changes using a text editor - without having to invoke root privileges.

However, after six years and no response it is probably unrealistic to expect the request to be fulfilled any time soon. The question becomes - should we carry this bug in the BTS indefinitely? I think not; hence closing. Sorry. Regards, -- Brian.
