[STR New]

when creating a user new user with lppasswd one can chose a username longer
than 16 characters, which also gets added to the /etc/cupsd/passwd.md5
correctly.

However when adding another user later on, this username does not get
written to the new password file, as the lppasswd utility looks for a
string along the lines of %s[16]:%s[16]:%s[32] and only writes these back
to the file.

Please remove this constraint, or at least adjust it to the current unix
default of 32 characters.

steps to reproduce:

# lppasswd -a testuserwithmorethan16characters
# grep "testuserwithmorethan16characters" /etc/cups.d/passwd.md5 
[this should show the user]

# lppasswd -a anotheruserwithmorethan16characters
# grep "testuserwithmorethan16characters" /etc/cups.d/passwd.md5 
[testuser is now gone]


Thanks for your help and continued effort 

Alex
