--nextPart6586559.O5mHgZn5ZJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I originally sent this to the CUPS maintainer and got a "that would be=20 nice" reply to the last part, so I'm wondering how hard it would be to=20 do :) Hi, Recently I have had trouble using CUPS and I tracked it down to the fact=20 that CUPS [now] appears to access device nodes as a non-root user.=20 Unfortunately this conflicts with the standard permissions=20 for /dev/lpt0. Do you have an opinion on the correct solution? I have=20 an /etc/devfs.rules file with this in it.. [root=3D100] add path 'lpt*' group cups mode 660 And have this in /etc/rc.conf.. devfs_system_ruleset=3D"root" but this is annoying to have to remember to do for a new install. I wonder if an lpt group should be created by default and then the CUPS=20 user can be a member.
