[STR New]
In 1.2.10 (This also happened with 1.2.9, Disk Utility, after the
installation of CUPS, makes the following repairs (here is the text from
Disk Utility:)
Repairing permissions for âLittlerâ
Determining correct file permissions.
Group differs on ./usr/bin/lppasswd, should be 26, group is 0
Owner and group corrected on ./usr/bin/lppasswd
Permissions corrected on ./usr/bin/lppasswd
Permissions differ on ./usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp, should be -rwxr-xr-x
, they are -rwx------
Owner and group corrected on ./usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp
Permissions corrected on ./usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp
Permissions differ on ./usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd, should be -rwxr-xr-x
, they are -rwx------
Owner and group corrected on ./usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd
Permissions corrected on ./usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd
Permissions repair complete
The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
I wonder if people's password problems come from these permissions errors
on installation?
CUPS 1.2.9 even changed permissions on .Library, which is a BIG no-no.
The installer obviously needs work.
