CUPS and Kerberos - Problem with Authentication

[Timo]

Once again, thank you for your reply.

To sum it up:

- CUPS needs MIT Kerberos 1.6.3 or any version of Heimdal Kerberos
- and it has to be built AFTER a suitable Kerberos has been installed

I will try this and tell you if it succeeded (I would be so glad if so), there is the time difference between our countries so maybe, if I still encounter problems, I'll have to wait until the next day for replies. But, I am very happy that you try to help me, I really appreciate this.

Maybe this information about CUPS and Kerberos should be added to the official documentation, as far as I could see from the huge amount of people having the same problem as me, it could be a very useful hint.

Best Regards,
Timo
