Bug#326001: cups-pdf: [NFS] mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/ANONYMOUS': Permission denied
This looks to me as if the home was exported with root_squash from the server. This will make cups-pdf fail in any case since it uses /home as output directory on Debian. Martin-Éric - is it possible for the installation to check this and issue an warning?

Root has no permission remotedly, but he must log into the machine who provides the shares. This is security issue, where root exploit in some machine does not gain further privileges.

This is security issue, where root exploit in some machine does not gain further privileges. This situation already is fully documented in the package; CUP-PDF requires that HOME be exported *without* the root_squash NFS option. Thus, I really dont see why this was reported as a bug; this is a feature and a requirement. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
