Interesting solution. I hadn't heard of doing this.
I still find it odd that CUPS needs a non-root password...
I'll try it out for a few systems (which have the passwords written on sticky notes) and let you know how it goes.
Note what Johannes wrote; CUPS doesn't need any passwords at all, if you are only going to use Yast for printer administration. The password is only needed if you intend to use the CUPS web interface (http://localhost:631)
Keep in mind that the administrator for cups need not be the _name_ root. You can use any name you wish, I use my user name as the cups admin user with full admin rights. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
