The original requirement is two fold 1) Ease of use for end users It works perfectly fine on Windows XP and OS X to browse network printers and print to one without requiring admin privileges. 2) Restricting root access for admins Admins want to allow straightforward operations like changing the wireless network or adding a printer without giving out the full root password (which allows things like installing new packages) Item 1) is primary here, its just easier. -JP -- JP Rosevear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
