From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050427 Red Hat/1.7.7-1.1.3.4 Description of problem: In an effort to curtail the excessive logging of CUPS (noted elsewhere), the advice was to change AccessLog in cupsd.conf to be /dev/null. If this is done, when cups is restarted, permissions on /dev/null will be changed to crw-r--r-- with owner lp:sys. This is completely repeatable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.17-13.3.27 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/cups stop 2.edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, change AccessLog to be /dev/null 3./etc/init.d/cups start Actual Results: assuming nothing else had changed it, /dev/null should be owned by root:root with permissions crw-rw-rw-; after the steps above, it will be lp:sys and crw-r--r-- Expected Results: no permission changes on /dev/null Additional info:
"AccessLog /dev/null" should not be used. Use just "AccessLog" on a line on its own instead.
