Description of Problem: RedHat 7.3.94 (Null). When I started kprinter as user to add a new CUPS-printer, everything was fine until username/password dialog. The username was already filled in - and accidentaly I gave a wrong password. Then kprinter was hanging - had to kill it. The following line was written repeatedly to /var/log/messages: aug 22 09:24:01 opuntia cups(pam_unix)[820]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=inger I think this should be handeled in a better way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.0.3-3 How Reproducible: I have tried twice - with same result. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start kprinter as user 2. Add printer 3. On username/password dialog, give a wrong password Actual Results: Kprinter is hanging - cups is repeatedly writing to /var/log/messages Expected Results: a message about wrong username/password - and possibility to correct it.
