I just thought I would pass on a bit of information that I discovered this
evening.  Should any of you out there ever get a message "setuid failed"
when running printer setup from the user agent menu, I can tell you why. The
password file entry for lp MUST be on line 9!!!!   I know this sounds silly,
but I had done some messing around with the file and all of a sudden lpsetup
went into orbit.  After an hour's worth of wasted time and numerous rude
comments, I decided to try and use the stock password file and like MAGIC
lpsetup returned to earth. 

I hope this saves someone out there a few headaches!!

EBD
