[STR New]

I've had a server running for the past year. I've logged into the
administrator section of the web interface fine in the past, and so has
another person. Absolutely nothing has changed over the past few years.

Today I got a call saying it won't allow login. You type in root and then
the password and it just pops up the password dialog again. I can ssh into
the server just fine using root.

I restarted the cups process using /etc/init.d/cupsys restart and it
didn't change anything. Restarting the whole server doesn't do anything
either.

Ubuntu 8.04 if that matters.
