How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start /usr/bin/printtool as root (part of package printtool) 2.Add or modify a print spool 3.Look at the file permissions of the spool just created with ls -l /var/spool/lpd 4.

Look at the file permissions again: ls -l /var/spool/lpd Actual Results: # ls -l /var/spool/lpd drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 1024 May 27 16:09 /var/spool/lpd/lp # /etc/init.d/lpd restart Stopping lpd: [ OK ] Starting lpd: Warning - permissions of '/var/spool/lpd/lp' are 0755, not 0700 [ OK ] # ls -l /var/spool/lpd drwx------ 2 lp lp 1024 May 27 16:09 /var/spool/lpd/lp Expected Results: 1.
