[STR New]

I'm currently on a customer site. They use RHEL-5.5 with CUPS v1.3.7. There
is a mismatch in the documentation:

 * the cupsd.conf manpage does mention the a configuration parameter:

        Krb5Keytab filename
            Overrides the Kerberos key tab location

 * the online help in "ref-cupsd-conf.html" does not mention this.

However, I'm not sure if this Krb5Keytab parameter is a RedHat-specific
patch. I do not find the same thing mentioned in the cupsd.conf manpage on
a Ubuntu Maverick CUPS v1.4.4 OS. So either it was officially in CUPS 1.3.x
(removed in 1.4.x), or it is a simple documentation weakness, or it was/is
just a RedHat-only thing...

Which is it?
