Changeset 956 for pykota/trunk/pykota/config.py

Message:

Default policy for unknown users/groups is to DENY printing instead
of the previous default to ALLOW printing. This is to solve an accuracy
problem. If you set the policy to ALLOW, jobs printed by in nexistant user
(from PyKota's POV) will be charged to the next user who prints on the
same printer.
