Hi,

I think I've found an error within the cups-pdf port/package. With the default installation, on my 2 systems (4.1 and current) there weren't any files under /var/spool/cups/${user} created. Within the /var/log/cups/error_log I've found, that cups-pdf has to run under root. So I've changed the /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/cups-pdf permission as described on the cups-pdf homepage to 0700 for root. Not everything runs as expected. If someone can confirm this error, could you please fix the port, so that /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/cups-pdf gets the correct permissions?

-> "Starting with version 1.2.0 CUPS implements the "RunAsOption" no longer. In order to ensure CUPS-PDF is running with the required root privileges you have to make 'root' the owner of the cups-pdf backend and set the file permissions of the backend to 0700 (root only)."

Thanks and best regards,
Sven
