[Sheflug] CUPS Permissions



Hi

Seem to have lost the thread somewhere with CUPS.

I'm using Debian Etch (well kind of) with KDE 3.4.2 and Gnome 2.10.  
After an update CUPS refuses to start...

As root..

/etc/init.d/cups restart
cupsd: Child exited with status 98!
cups: unable to restart scheduler.

As a user...

 /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsdcupsd: Child exited with 
status 1!

Looks to me as though this is a permissions problem on CUPS where 
permissions on /etc/cups/cupsd.conf are not set correctly.  

ls -l /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root sys 19186 2005-11-22 13:50 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Need to allow access by users.  Is this correct or shall have to 
change it ?  If so what do I change it to ?  Read the book doesn't 
help much.  There is nothing at port 631 ... lsof -i TCP:631... 
returns no value.
