Thanks!
I tried to debug/strace the processes, and ran into strange behavior, wich pointed to the Kerberos calls. When I then started to look in the RedHat kerberos code, I couldn't understand how it ever could be working.

I will try to update the Kerberos libs, and start again.

BTW: Is there eny documentation (apart from source code) on what parts of Cups that are kerberized?

Webgui -> cupsd
cupsd -> admin.cgi
lpr/lpq/lprm -> cupsd

How can I define (root at) localhost to always be trusted to set the username (samba printing) but all other must use kerberos?


Thanks again!
