The init.d script sets the permissions OK, and then something fubars them. Further debugging of the script shows that: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --exec $DAEMON resets the permissions to before start-stop -rw-r----- 1 cupsys lpadmin 282800 2006-10-31 09:48 /var/log/cups/error_log after start-stop -rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 309598 2006-10-31 09:48 /var/log/cups/error_log The only solution for me is to change the permissions AGAIN after start- stop-daemon. -- 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
