Description Bryan Mason 2017-04-12 22:44:00 UTC
Description of problem:

  If we place an NIS group name in the SystemGroup parameter in
  /etc/cups/cups-files.conf then CUPS will not start correctly at boot
  time and gives an error message saying there's a bad group.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  cups-1.6.3-26.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

  100%

Steps to Reproduce:

 1. Add "SystemGroup <group>" to cups-files.conf, where <group> is some
    group defined in NIS.

2. Start CUPS

Actual results:

  CUPS doesn't recognize the group name.

Expected results:

  CUPS should resolve the group name.

Additional info:

  Adding "ypbind.service" to the "After=" line in the cups.service file
  appears to resolve this issue.
