* debian/patches/56_dirsvc.dpatch: Update patch so that a patch/unpatch
cycle restores the source properly instead of breaking dirsvc.c in two
different places.
* debian/rules: Install 'lpd' backend suid root (root:lp 4754), so that
The easy and correct fix for edgy is indeed to install the backend suid
root and drop privileges right after opening the port.

dapper cupsys can not print to rfc compliant lpd ser
Just to be clear printing from Ubuntu/Dapper to RFC compliant lpd
server it suffice to chmod u+s /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/lpd.
However having the ability to do chmod u+s /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
is also convenient as it solves a slightly similar problem or should I say
reverse issue. S
I did another test and
chmod u+s /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd does allow one
to print from a client running a rfc compliant lpr command I.e.,
a client that insists on connecting to a lpd server on
reserved port below 1024 (we have one). I setup cups-lpd
to be listening on my ubuntu box via inet
Oh, I forgot a very prominent and important service that does not comply
with your principles for security, Ante: Samba.
I just checked with the box of a friend who runs Dapper: it has the
original Dapper packages of Samba, and all smbd and nmbd processes do
run as root

I'm sure he knows that. What he meant to say was that a start-stop daemon
solution should then also use a port above 1024 (instead of 63

Hi, In a recent thread Michael Sweet outlined point by point
why not runn
It's between "Rejected" and "Confirmed". For fixing this bug we should
run cups as root or introduce setuid program.

Kurt thank you for clearing this up. As for Ubuntu patching source, you
can very easily check it and you'll see Ubuntu has less than 100 lines
of diff regarding to Debian package (if you exclude fixes from CUPS
CVS). Most of those lines are in cupsd.conf, not the source.
I think buglist is not for
_Like_ *this*? Or 'like' ''this''? '''Hmm...'''

Yes you do, at least in the context of this bug report. The bug report
explicitely names an "RFC compliant LPD server".
In case you are not familiar with RFC 1179 (which is the one that
descibes LPD), please have a look
