Hi, I haven't been able to print for a while. CUPS would just segfault when I tried to login to the admin pages. A friend of mine had the same problem and after disabing all the use flags CUPS was using he got CUPS working again. After some investigation I fount out the USE="-pam" "fixed" the segfault. I then remembered that I was using pam_usb. After commenting out the pam_usb line from my system-auth cups ran just fine even with the pam useflag turned on. I don't know if this is a CUPS problem or a pam_usb problem. I you need any more information, please ask and hopefully I can help. kind regards, David Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge cups with at least the pam useflag turned on 2.emerge pam_usb 3.Add the following line to your system-auth: auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_usb.so check_device=-1 4 Go to the admin page on localhost:631 5 Go to "Manage Printer" 6 Click "Add Printer" 7 Type in your login name and password Actual Results: At this point CUPS segfaults Expected Results: Let me manage my printers
Greetings, You shouldn't be using pam_usb for CUPS authentication. Anyway, could you try the lastest version of pam_usb (0.3.1) which I pushed to CVS about 10 minutes ago ? (It's keyworded ~x86). This release mostly fixes memory management.
please try the latest version of pam_usb
Hi, sorry for my late reply. I've tested it and it works fine now. Thanx kind regards, David
