[cups.general] AuthType Digest problems

[Keith Bawden]

Hello All,

I'm having some problems getting AuthType Digest  to work as it should.

The only nonstandard changes from a freshly compiled cups 1.3.9
install is the following changes to cups.conf

SystemGroup cupsadmin
DefaultAuthType Digest

I have created my test user "freddo" and have tested his account out
successfully by adding/deleting printer queues via lpadmin run locally
and over the wire from another host using the -h option. No worries
there...

However, when it comes to using a browser (Firefox 2,3 and Safari
3.1.2) all admin operations fail. I have pasted in the relevant log
entires:

cupsdAuthorize: Authorized as freddo using Digest
