I agree. > access to what?

I think it's mistakenly given an authz namespace, giving users the impression it steps in after authentication, or does something else specifically based on r->user. at least any users who have bothered to wrap their heads around the entire aaa idiom and phase separations. > So, if > you are going to complain about the name, please come up with helpful > suggestions rather than having us revert to an ambiguous name. I suggested mod_access_host, which I think fits into the current hierarchy rather nicely. then we could potentially have slots formod_access_cookie, mod_access_useragent, or whatever else people generally use the access phase for. mod_authz_host feels terribly misleading... --Geoff
