Patch

Cups should be able to offer kerberos authentication. That could be useful for granting access to restricted printers from UCC and other Linux clients.

What the attached patch does:
Makes the Cups option AuthType configurable over the UCR variable cups/auth-type. For kerberos support it must be set to Negotiate, the default value is Basic.

What current works with cups/auth-type=Negotiate:
* Printing over Samba from Windows clients
* Access over the cups webinterface to restricted printers on UCC

What current not works with cups/auth-type=Negotiate:
* Printing from UCC clients ;)
* Access over the cups webinterface to restricted printers on Windows

This issue has been filed against UCS 3. UCS 3 is out of the normal maintenance and many UCS components have vastly changed in UCS 4.

If this issue is still valid, please change the version to a newer UCS version otherwise this issue will be automatically closed in the next weeks.
