I'll see what I can come up with. It'll be a good excuse to dust off my
Camel. :-)

Yup, I was attempting to generalize into the existing ACL paradigm as
much as possible. (Plus we're probably going to have multiple levels of
users, and some levels should be able to modify others -- partners,
resellers, OEM... &etc.)

Not at all! I was just thinking that since you replied so quickly and
definitively (and without any of your usual hints to the effect of "but
if you wanted to do <this-other-almost-the-same-thing> here's where to
look") ...it seemed unlikely that my restatement would provoke a
different response. No abrasion was inferred or suffered, and my
apologies for jogging your elbow mid-juggle. (Or mid-crunch.)

	Thanks for a great toolkit,
