I'm using Dapper 6.06 LTS with cupsys 1.2.1-0ubuntu2. As indicated by Walter when I do:
$ ls -l /var/log/cups/error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 190608 2006-07-28 10:45 /var/log/cups/error_log $ sudo chown cupsys /var/log/cups/error_log* $ ls -l /var/log/cups/error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 cupsys lp 195464 2006-07-28 10:46 /var/log/cups/error_log And then restart cups: $ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart I see permissions of /var/log/cups/error_log changed again to: $ ls -l /var/log/cups/error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 124369 2006-07-28 10:36 error_log So it seems that permissions are changed everytime a log file has been accessed after restart of cups. In Edgy which has a newer cupsys I don't have this permission problems and owner of error_log is cupsys. In attachment you find my cupsd.conf, I doubt you will find anything in it since it is the one that got installed by default and I never changed it. Ante, since you don't have this problem on Dapper, have you any idea how to further debug this problem? Since all error_log* files have owner root now I'm unable to see at which point in time something happened. -- cupsd can't access /var/log/cups/error_log permission denied https://launchpad.net/bugs/54277 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
