[cups.general] Conditional authentification based on LAN-IP?

So if I understand correctly, this will work:

<Location /printers/hp1300>
  Order Allow, Deny
  AuthType Basic
  Satisfy Any
  Allow From 192.168.0.*
  Allow From 192.168.2.*
  Allow From 192.168.3.*
</Location>

Someone in the above LAN's will not be asked to Authenticate... but someone from say 192.168.1.* will?

What happens if I add a 'Require group secretaries professors' in there.  Will the group restriction be enforced for those authenticating from the 192.168.1.* LAN?

Yeah, as long as you don't have the issue of more than two zones the Satisfy Any approach will work.

(and it is like Apache on purpose... :)
