But, I've checked cups on my print-server and it does not keep open /etc/passwd at all. And, given what cups should do, I find it unlikely that it should behave that way. Can you do the following, please: 1) Shutdown cups by systemd's way (systemctl blahblah …). 2) Start it by /etc/init.d/cups start. 3) Confirm with lsof whenever /etc/passwd is kept open. 4) While you're at it, invoke 'fuser /etc/passwd' to ensure that nobody else is using it.
