accept - password in localhost don't work

[angelb]

Hello all.

If I run the accept command in a client with a regular user account,
it ask for password in the localhost. If I enter my password, it never
takes it:

cupsserver1:./stimpy> accept ricoh
Password for stimpy on localhost?
Password for stimpy on localhost?
Password for stimpy on localhost?
Password for stimpy on localhost?
Password for stimpy on localhost?
Password for stimpy on localhost?
...

What controls this access?

Funny thing too is that it keeps on asking for password and never exits
even if you enter incorrect passwords. It does exit only when you hit
the enter key without entering anything.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,
Angel
