[cups.bugs] [MOD] STR #2368: Current setuid() approach of deviced leads to unaccessible devices

[Michael Sweet]

[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Sigh...  seteuid() becomes the only UID after a fork. The cups-deviced
check honors the root/non-root permission check done by the scheduler, and
your patch disables that, running all backends as root with the standard
CUPS (and that exposes you to more security risks...)

Will not apply this patch.
