No problem.

Thanks for the reply, Armin.

I am willing to test it, but have some observations and questions, 
before.

After what I have read, I am a little careful about the using that 
patch. So I tried reading a little more about the bug, and in the 
ticket for BLFS, suggested another one. However, could not understand 
if I should just apply the patch in a new of cups, or if the 
cups-files.conf shoud be copied from that source to the /et/cups 
directory.

BTW, this is the contents of such directory in my "physical" LFS 
7.1-svn machine:
]$ ls -l /etc/cups
total 76
-rw------- 1 root lp    128 Nov  8 12:40 classes.conf
-rw------- 1 root lp    128 Nov  8 10:29 classes.conf.O
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   35 Nov  9 10:17 client.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1077 Nov  9 10:34 command.types
-rw-r----- 1 root lp   3101 Nov  8 13:18 cupsd.conf

-rw-r----- 1 root lp    278 Nov  1 22:36 snmp.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root lp    278 Nov  9 10:17 snmp.conf.N
drwx------ 2 root lp   4096 Nov  1 22:36 ssl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   91 Nov 10 08:36 thnuclnt.convs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   75 Nov 10 08:36 thnuclnt.types

As I had a problem with cups, have modified it many times, including, 
deleting, changing owner/permissions. Are these good, or should I 
modify anything there?

Thanks.
