I can't log in to cups to do any admin tasks. My cups conf. file says: # You definitely will want to limit access to the administration functions. # The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who # is a member of the system group to do any admin tasks. You can change # the group name using the SystemGroup directive. # AuthType BasicDigest AuthClass Group AuthGroupName sys ## Restrict access to local domain Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 so I added myself to the sys group and I still cannot login. I can't login as root either. So the AuthGroupName is sys, I'm a member and I still can't login. Anyone understand what is going on here? Thanks, Jerome

And you remembered to run lppasswd -g sys <username> correct? -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

I didn't know about this command. But I did read Cups Administrative manuel. In the end I changed AuthType BasicDigest to AuthType Basic and the problem went away. Is this a 'correct' solution to the problem?

OK, try it this way lppasswd -g sys -a <username> (forgot the -a part to add a user). It should prompt twice for a password. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)
