Why no support for netgroups? They're a perfect way to put together combinations of users, hosts, and users and hosts; they're distributable via NIS; and there are library calls to query them. You could integrate them into grammar you've already made by using a convention like @<text> refers to the netgroup <text>. Or, you could make your grammar even simpler by using only netgroups as specifiers (losing the benefit of .group part of user.group identification). What do you think? -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
