[cups.general] Login to cups on localhost:631 password failure

Thanks to some help from people on one of the freebsd lists I have
finally succeeded in getting cups the server to communicate with the printer
and print.
HOWEVER!!
One minor niggling problem remains. I still cannot communicate with the cups
management interface on http://localhost:631 due to password authentication
failure. So the title of this thread is still very relevant.
Thanks in advance for any help with the problem.
To bring readers up to date:
I try logging in as 'root' with correct root password in the login
dialogue.
I altered the loglevel to debug and the output is at the end of this post.
It seems as though the cupsd is not receiving the input (probably due to some
config error on my part!). I have tried using a number of different browsers
but get the same result.
Prior to testing I did:
dns1# lppasswd -g wheel -a root
The standard cups error log showed
cupsdAuthorize: pam_start() returned 4 (system error)!
So I raised the loglevel to debug and got the results shown further down.
All the configuration has been done manually.
I restarted cupsd with:
dns1# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart
Stopping cupsd.
Starting cupsd.
