[cups.general] I have a permissions problem cancelling jobs

[Rob Tanner]

Hi,

I am trying to delegate to out helpdesk the task of canceling jobs.  All 
the members of the helpdesk are in a system group (defined in 
/etc/group) called helpdesk, and I have the following location 
configuration in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:

<Location /jobs/?op=cancel-job>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny From All
    Allow From 10.*
    AuthType Basic
    AuthClass User
    Require group wheel helpdesk
</Location>

In /var/log/cups/access_log I see the following entry:
10.219.200.22 - speters [22/Mar/2006:11:34:52 -0800] "GET 
/jobs/?op=cancel-job&job_id=1517&job_printer_uri=/printers/mathalleyps 
HTTP/1.1" 200 1543

And in /var/log/cups/error_log I see the following corresponding error:
E [22/Mar/2006:11:34:52 -0800] cancel_job: "speters" not authorized to 
delete job id 1517 owned by "akamal"!

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Rob
