[STR New]

There is missing information regarding ConfigFilePerm in
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/ref-cupsd-conf.html
which currently reads:
------------------------------------------------------------------
The ConfigFilePerm directive specifies the permissions to use
when writing configuration files.
------------------------------------------------------------------

According to
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s1+gcups.general+v2+T0+Qfileperm
this should be enhanced with something like
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The ConfigFilePerm directive specifies the permissions to use
when writing configuration files like cupsd.conf,
config files uploaded via HTTP PUT requests, the remote.cache file,
the subscriptions.conf file, and the job.cache file
but except classes.conf and printers.conf files because
of potential security issues.
