Hey,

Sorry I missed your message, for some reason it was in my spam folder.

Before we start talking about specifics or the code, do you mean
netgroup as in the NIS sense of the word, e.g

 http://www.informit.com/library/content.aspx?b=red_hat_linux7&seqNum=143

or something else?

I'm also assuming the intent is to be able to use this together with a
PKLA file, cf.

 http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/pklocalauthority.8.html

so you can, for example, drop a file

 /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/20-org.d/my-company-policy.pkla

with contents

 [Developers]
 Identity=netgroup:xyz_developers
 Action=com.example.xyz.*
 ResultAny=no
 ResultInactive=no
 ResultActive=yes

such that any user that is in the xyz_developers Netgroup is permitted
for com.example.xyz.*

Is that the intent?

Thanks,
David
