Unable to connect to cupsd: Permission denied

Wed May 21 13:23:47 PDT 2008

When we try and launch the administrator tab cupsd gives a permissions denied to the admin.cgi script.  I've tried adding the user with lppasswd as well as adding them to the /etc/group file but don't know if I am doing so incorrectly or not. The cupsd daemon is running as root.  This is for RedHat Linux 4E and Cups release 1.3.7

Below is the debug2 sections relating to this question.
