c41769ff 10.SH NAME
c390f212 11cups\-files.conf \- file and directory configuration file for cups
c41769ff 12.SH DESCRIPTION
c390f212
MS
13The \fBcups\-files.conf\fR file configures the files and directories used by the CUPS scheduler,
14.BR cupsd (8).
15It is normally located in the \fI/etc/cups\fR directory.
c41769ff 16.LP
c390f212 17Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment.
25d0c3fe
MS
18Configuration directives typically consist of a name and zero or more values separated by whitespace.
19The configuration directive name and values are case-insensitive.
c390f212

20Comment lines start with the # character.
21.SS DIRECTIVES
22The following directives are understood by
23.BR cupsd (8):
37d9646b 24.\"#AccessLog
c41769ff 25.TP 5
25d0c3fe 26\fBAccessLog\fR
c41769ff 27.TP 5

MS
30\fBAccessLog stderr\fR
31.TP 5
c390f212 32\fBAccessLog syslog\fR
c41769ff 33Defines the access log filename.
c390f212 34Specifying a blank filename disables access log generation.
c59e07c6 35The value "stderr" causes log entries to be sent to the standard error file when the scheduler is running in the foreground, or to the system log daemon when run in the background.
25d0c3fe 36The value "syslog" causes log entries to be sent to the system log daemon.
c390f212
MS
37The server name may be included in filenames using the string "%s", for example:
38.nf
39
40 AccessLog /var/log/cups/%s-access_log
41
42.fi
25d0c3fe 43The default is "/var/log/cups/access_log".
7c7347a3
MS
44.\"#CacheDir
45.TP 5
46\fBCacheDir \fIdirectory\fR
47Specifies the directory to use for long-lived temporary (cache) files.
48The default is "/var/spool/cups/cache" or "/var/cache/cups" depending on the platform.

b4a8492a 54.LP
25d0c3fe 55\fBNote:\fR The permissions for the \fIprinters.conf\fR file are currently masked to only allow access from the scheduler user (typically root).
c390f212
MS
56This is done because printer device URIs sometimes contain sensitive authentication information that should not be generally known on the system.
57There is no way to disable this security feature.
