Thanks Alan for your response and Matt for the info on your
patch, but it is unclear from your web page Matt whether the
patch does anything more than just comment out the
authentication portions of the cupsd.conf file.
The bigger question I guess is, in the rather protected
environment of a school, whether there is any reason not to
change from the current ShadoweHash regiment (such as
upgrading to Tiger will crash ;=}
