cups upgrade AuthClass/AuthUser missing comments.
it finally happened after about two years of perfect service.
I upgraded cups on my server and clients.
I kept the config files the same.
And not all my printer functions are dead.
I can hit the web page at :631, but none of the links respond.
I can't find the printers on anything anywhere, even locally.
And the logs only say that everything is up and running with one exception of
the AuthClass strings. Now if I take a look at the new cupsd.conf.dpkg-dist
there are some examples of how to set this up locally but there is no
description of how to set it up for a remote server application. Kind of a
catch 22 -- the upgrade provides the fix, but it doesn't explain how to use it.
I suppose someone will tell me to RTFM. But you know what? I've actually never
needed to do that for my use. I've done it in the past, but I'm not looking
forward to doing it again just to add two lines in some configuration file.
More comments would have been nice.
Now I have to take a stab at what this is supposed to be and just how much of my
config file I have to throw out.
