Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.7-4etch2 Severity: normal If cupsd.conf contains an Allow directive with an ip address whose nonzero bit is masked with a netmask, cupsd fails to start with the following message:
foobar cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting! For example, Allow From 172.16.1.1/255.240.0.0 causes the problem, while Allow From 172.16.0.0/255.240.0.0 is OK. Of course, this is not a big problem, if users know this behavior. The real problem is that cupsd claims that it cannot read '/etccups/cupsd.conf', when it simply cannot handle the netmask. I spent one hour trying to find what the real problem was, by modifying my configuration file.
