>Description:
Apache documentation does not specify if a , or space should be used for 
multiple group names and some modules implement it as spaces and others 
impliment it as commas. eg:
<Limit GET POST PUT>
require group snet-lp snet-dp snet-fp
</Limit>

mod_auth_dbm.c would only see the snet-lp group and would deny access to anyone 
in the snet-dp or snet-fp groups, while mod_auth_msql.c would work fine for any 
of the the 3 groups.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
1) decide if the seperator should be a , or a space
2) Document it properly in core
3) check and change mod_auth*.c (usualy there is a getword a few lines above 
the "user %s not in right group" error message and you just need to change the 
third parameter of the getword)
