Description Peter Williams 2005-08-22 00:30:22 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
The read permission bit for "other" on file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf keeps on getting mysteriously turned off.  I have searhed the various logs to try to determine what is doing this to no avail.

How do I stop this behaviour?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.1.23-15.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set read bit on
2. printing fails because /etc/cups/cupsd.conf can't be read
3. check to find read bit is off
  

Actual Results:  I got annoyed and set the read bit back on

Additional info:

The cupsd daemon will alter permissions of its configuration files.

There is no reason to have the "other" read bit on for that file, and in fact
there are good reasons not to.  In what way does printing fail when this is the
case?

Closing due to lack of response by reporter.
