Description twaugh 2006-06-14 12:25:18 UTC

Version:           kdelibs-3.5.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

The duplication of the cups_local_auth() code tries to find the local certificate in /etc/cups/certs.  This is the wrong place, and can cause an infinite loop:

- finds /etc/cups/certs/0, supplies it
- cupsd rejects since it doesn't match /var/run/cups/certs/0
- repeat immediately, filling up logs

This seems like a valid bug report, setting it to "Confirmed"/NEW for now. 

Need to find someone to check code in kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/cupsdconf2/cups-util.c

KDEPrint is obsolete, unmaintained and will never be revived.  Closing all open bugs.
