I wasn't assuming anything here about future Groupers.  Our PASE spec has the idea that each service has an explicit "include" and "exclude" list,  I know all this could be done with plain "base" type groups and some naming conventions, but I thought I'd give this approach a try.  None of this is more than a prototyping exercise for now at least.

specify the group type to be acted upon
    

Ah, you beat me to it.

May I integrate your modifications with what is currently in CVS?


  

Sure, of course.     --Keith
