See "Authentication Issues" at http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/security.html In particular authentication for "root" on "localhost" happens via /var/run/cups/certs/0 By default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf contains -------------------------------------------------------------- Listen localhost:631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock -------------------------------------------------------------- But listening on the domain socket is not required. It is only required that cupsd listens on localhost:631. Local clients can connect to the cupsd as they like but should fall-back to localhost:631 if connection via domain socket is not possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
