Problem: Unable to administer "cups" because it will not accept root password.
I have reviewd "help" at www.kde.org and reviewed several "Googled" sites for information. I have reviewed the Cups Software Administrative Manual, several README.txt's and INSTALL.txt's I also have tried various configure options in cups-1.1.20, cups-1.1.23 and cups-1.2.4 but cannot get administratve control. 1. I have a single computer and I am the only person that has physical access to it and I don't need this type of security. What "configure" options, ie --disable-xxx, are required to install cups without this security armor? 2. Is there some document available that would explain the step by step process that is intended to take place? 3. Is there some some simple way of "uninstalling" cups? (There is no "make uninstall") My system was compiled in accordance with the online version LFS-6.2 and BLFS-6.1. It should be noted that prior to being prevented any administrative access that it was possible to execute: "lpadmin -p Lexmark -m lexe322.pdd -v parallel;//dev/lp0 -E" followed by confirmation that the printer did indeed print. After several reinstallations with different configure options I am now denied any administrative commands by repeated requests for the root password.
