CUPs and ACLs

[perlguy]

Well, I had CUPs working for a bit, now I cannot even get to localhost:631

I'm mad because I don't have time to play around trying to get my printers working, when I've had them working on Linux for the past several YEARS.

Here is what I get when I restart CUPs.
I [29/May/2006:07:55:49 -0500] Listening to 127.0.0.1:631 on fd 0...
E [29/May/2006:07:55:49 -0500] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported

Has anyone dealt with this and do you know how to fix it?

Thank you!

Someone has to be having this same problem!

The CUPs site has nothing useful that I can find, the Fedora site has nothing, Google turns up a couple hits, but nothing in English, and nothing that looks very helpful.

I have SELinux disabled on my box, so this "shouldn't" be an error related to that - unless the program cannot function without it enabled.

I'm really frustrated that this is still broken and there doesn't seem to be much that I can do at the moment.

Try setfacl -m o:rwx /var/run/cups/certs/0

Tried it, no dice...

I even tried to set /var/run/cups/certs/0 to 777

When I start cups, it changes the permissions to 440

How do I tell CUPS to NOT even bother with ACLs or the "root certficate" ???

I could care less if my printers all have 777 permissions, I am the ONLY one using them! Or, who *used* to use them - since I cannot print anymore. >:-(

I've been having the same problem too. I think it has to do with a recent update because my printer worked fine in the past.

Err, how about this solution, turn selinux OFF

vi /etc/selinux/config

SELINUX=disabled
