Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.23-16,samba-3.0.14a-2 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: I'm not sure how. Actual Results: Process reveals credentials through process name. Expected Results: Credentials hidden. Additional info:
You're using the wrong URI form. Refer to /usr/share/doc/cups-*/sam.html: smb://workgroup/server/sharename smb://server/sharename smb://user:pass@workgroup/server/sharename smb://user:pass@server/sharename are the accepted forms.
Agreed, it seems the printers.conf has, for some odd reason DeviceURI smb://nilsolav:w84xmas.170.20/nilsolav:w84xmas.170.20/HPLaserJet2300 To my defence, this was created by the FC2 printer config actually, and I havnt' touched it since upgrading. I take it it masks out the credentials on valid URIs, and all is well.
