Which is a tremendously bad idea since any local user can then crack that password.

The solution is to upgrade to cups that understands pam, or wait for Apple to do so, unless you don't care about the security gains Apple has made in 10.3.


Ahem... excuse me, but do you really try to follow the spirit of a thread?
And to take into account the various cautions, nuances and options that may have been brought throughout the reasonings?

Or do you just systematically jump on some leitmotives of your own?

It is now the second time you quote one of my messages by taking excerpts that, out of their context, just become very suspect, not to say plain stupid given the usage you are making of them.


Sorry, I had to say it.
Feel better now :-)
