Question printer security fedora core 5 / 6
Ok
Here we go I have been totally thrown for a loop trying to lock out printers from select users on my network. I am running fedora core 5 and fedora core 6. I have IP printers in different departments through out the network. Each department only wants users in their department to print to their printer; currently any user on the network can send pri nt jobs to any department.

I thought that this would be a quick fix....boy was I wrong! Days later i am still trying to get this to work! So far I have tried the following solutions to fix the problem:
1. I went into CUPs and set an allowed users list(here I used the machine hostname as the username; also tried it usining the IP address)
2.I edited the cupsd.conf file to deny all and allow on the machine IP addresses that I listed.
<Location /printers/admindeptpr01>
order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.0.12
Allow From 192.168.0.13
Allow From 192.168.0.14
...
Allow From 192.168.0.36
</Location>
3.I also edited the printers.conf file to only allow specific users.
Also I stoped and restarted the cups service after each change made to conf file.

If there is something that I am missing here, please point it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

gcore

GCORE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GCORE(1)

NAME

       gcore - get core image of running process

SYNOPSIS

       gcore [-s][-c core] pid

DESCRIPTION

       gcore  creates  a  core	image  of  each specified process, suitable for use with adb(1).  By default the core image is written to the file
       <pid>.core.

       The options are:

       -c     Write the core file to the specified file instead of <pid>.core.

       -s     Stop the process while creating the core image and resume it when done.  This makes sure that the core dump will be in a	consistent
	      state.   The  process is resumed even if it was already stopped.	Of course, you can obtain the same result by manually stopping the
	      process with kill(1).

       The core image name was changed from core.<pid> to <pid>.core to prevent matching names like core.h and core.c when using programs such	as
       find(1).

FILES

       <process-id>.core   The core image.

BUGS

       If gcore encounters an error while creating the core image and the -s option was used the process will remain stopped.

       Swapped out processes and system processes (the swapper) may not be gcore'd.
