I am unsure of how the Mac GUI is connected to the darwin core
and as a result am unable to set up any kind of authentication
for cups access via the web interface.  I can can kill all
authentication,  but any attempt to authenticate ladmin (a
user that appears in the gui) or any other user we create in
the gui fails.

I found a note after some hours of looking that OS X does not
apparently use /etc/pasword and /etc/group files but uses
files in /etc/lookupd....  but I could find nothing in
/etc/lookupd. Nor could I find any gui tool for managing users
and groups!

What files does cups reference in order to address basic
authentication?  DO I need to use some other form of
authentication on OS X and if so what?  And where oh where is
any of this fully documented??
