Having /var NFS mounted without no_root_squash is a bad thing(tm) in the first place, some applications insist on lock files/pid files in /var/run etc. Additional clarification on bero's comments: this problem occurs on an NFS-mounted filesystem that is mounted WITH no_root_squash. The lpr problem comes not from NFS squashing root privileges, but from the client surrendering root privileges using seteuid/setegid. This is fixed in a later lpr package. |
