Hi All,

Before you shake the finger at me, all of the below were "no security" 
installations,

Twice on FC21 machines and once on a OSx machine I have been caught not 
being able to use CUPS (http://127.0.0.1:631) because the 
"administration" function required the root's (OSx was the user's) 
password. And, they had it and all others set to blank password. Cups 
must have a password, so I couldn't use the administration functions.

Is there a way around this besides assigning a password (which will
not endear me to the customer[s])?

Many thanks,
-T
