Greetings.  We recently just updated (via a clean install) a server to
SL 5.2, x86_64.  The system had previously had a number of print queues,
but in the interest of getting home at a finite time on the day of the
upgrade, we set up only the queue for the printer that is most heavily
used.

I don't recall the details, but I certainly don't remember that there
was anything extraordinary about the process of setting up the one print
queue.

Today we attempted to revisit the issue of the print queues.  To do so,
we logged in as root at the console, typed startx, and then ran
system-config-printer (both from a terminal window and by choosing it
from the menu).

In both cases we get a pop-up message that tells us:

    Not authorized

    The password may be incorrect, or the server may be configured
    to deny remote administration.

Hmmm.  I don't know which password would be incorrect.  And I don't
understand the "remote" part.  We're logged in as "root" when this
happens, and we're logged in from the console.

To compound the mystery, we DO have the one print queue happily running.
I can't imagine how else we would have set it up.

If you have any thoughts about this, please pass 'em along.

Thanks.

					- Mike
