"Satisfy Any" in cupsd.conf

Hi all,

Has anybody any idea why the Satisfy Any directive might be being ignored in my cupsd.conf?  All I want is to have certain hosts get access to admin functions without authenticating, all others seeing a user/pass dialogue.  I have a pretty identical directive working as expected in my older 1.1-based servers, but it ain't working in my 1.2's.

Server versions are 1.2.7-4etch2, and they're Debian Stable/Etch packages.  Is it the Debianness that's causing this?  Or is it the very likely possibility that I've done something stupid and just can't spot it?

The offending article is:

<Location /admin>
  Satisfy any
  Allow from 10.21.0.4
  AuthType Basic
  Require user @SYSTEM
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
</Location>

Any pointers appreciated!

Cheers,

Kev
