#940 PERMISSION INCORRECT FOR SMB SCRIPTS AFTER WEBMIN UPGRADE

[Andrew Frielink]

Under RedHat 7.2 (I have not tested other versions).
The files in /etc/webmin/lpadmin/drivers end up with
permissions of 711. since they are scripts, they need at
least 755 for the printer subsystem to be able to print to
the printers. I keep manually setting the permissions
back to 755 and the printers come back online.

What does the iface_perms= line in
/etc/webmin/lpadmin/config say? It should be like
iface_perms=755 . This is the default, and works on my system ..

I checked the /etc/webmin/lpadmin/config fiel and
iface_perms is set to 755.

Here is a copy of the entire config file.

sort_mode=0
printcap_file=/etc/printcap.local
model_path=
show_jobs=0
start_cmd=
print_style=lprng
iface_perms=755
gs_path=gs

Try this - go to the Webmin Configuration module, click on
Logging and turn on both 'Enable logging' and 'Log changes
made to files by each action'. Uuse the Printer
Administration module to create a printer, then go to the
Webmin Actions log module and find the log entry that this
just created. When you click on it, all the commands
executed (including any chmod commands) will be shown, so
that you can see what is really happening ..
