http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40060 Summary: AuthGroupFile should accept /etc/group syntax Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.3-HEAD Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: mod_auth AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AuthGroupFile requires a syntax that differs from that of /etc/group. As a result, every time you change group membership in /etc/group, you have to rebuild the groups file used by Apache a la the attached script. The AuthGroupFile parser could easily be enhanced to also accept the syntax found in /etc/group, and then one could simply point it at /etc/group. Or there could be a new directive, called something like AuthEtcGroupFile that takes only the /etc/ group syntax. Or there could be a new directive, called something like AuthGroupFromEtc that looks at both /etc/ passwd and /etc/group to get group membership. This would also solve the problem of someone who belongs to a group by virtue of his /etc/passwd entry but is not listed in the group in /etc/group -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
