The same for "Deny", "BrowseAllow", and "BrowseDeny".
Furthermore
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/ref-cupsd-conf.html
reads e.g.
Allow from All
Allow from None
but
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/man-cupsd.conf.html
reads
Allow all
Allow none
Therefore it seems case doesn't matter but does it not matter
in any case, e.g. also not for
aUTHtYPE bAsIcDiGeSt
or does case not matter even for
SystemGroup RooT LPaDMiN
And what about various ways to say "yes" (or "no")
and horizontal spaces (including tabs) like:
BrowseLocalOptions compression=yes
browseLOCALoptions Compression = YES
BrowseLocalOptions compression=on
BrowseLocalOptions compression=true
BrowseLocalOptions compression = 1
BrowseLocalOptions compression=nofreili
Only the last line is a joke:
"nofreili" is "yes" in Frankonian dialect ;-)
Kind Regards
