Dear All,
On my Gentoo system, /usr/sbin/cupsd has permissions
-r-x------
i.e. it can't be run (nor even read) as a normal user. Does anyone know why, please? Is it safe just to chmod the file then run it as a normal user?
(Background: my new printer, an Epson SX525WD, needs proprietary drivers - and I like to run proprietary software only as a special, low-privileged user.)
Thanks
