[cups.bugs] [HIGH] STR #1521: Non-root backends should use CUPS_DEFAULT_GROUP

[twaugh.redhat]

[STR New]

In CUPS 1.2rc1 I see that the parallel backend no longer runs as
root.  The defaults seem to be user lp and group nobody (although
'CUPS_DEFAULT_GROUP' is "lp" in my config.h).

This means that the parallel backend doesn't have permission to open
this device for reading:

crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Mar 29 08:52 /dev/lp0

Shouldn't CUPS_DEFAULT_GROUP be used instead of "nobody" here?:

scheduler/conf.c:
   340   /*
   341    * Find the default group (nobody)...
   342    */
   343
   344    group = getgrnam("nobody");
   345    endgrent();
