[cups.general] Re: trouble adding beh

[Till Kamppeter]

At first, restart CUPS, either with

killall -HUP cups

or

/etc/init.d/cups restart

If you have still trouble, check the permissions of /usr/bin/perl:

ls -l /usr/bin/perl

It must be world-executable

chmod 755 /usr/bin/perl

For security reasons you should remove the world-writable bit from beh:

chmod o-w /usr/lib/cups/backend/beh

Print jobs do never modify beh, so doing this cannot break anything.

During my troubleshooting, I have also tried changing the permission of printers.conf and cupsd.conf to 777 with the same result. permission 640 (above) is the default from fedora install.

I have checked that my perl path is indeed in /usr/bin/perl. I dont see "network beh" in lpinfo -v, and when I try to put beh in printers.conf, I get some Access Denied errors for printers.conf in the error log. Any ideas?
