The new objectives for the LPIC-2 certification have,
for 208.1 (Basic Apache Configuration) the term
'htgroup' listed with the "partial list of used files,
terms and utilities".

I have scanned my entire Apache documentation -i.e. the
documentation tree as provided by the Apache Foundation-
for this word 'htgroup', but not found it anywhere.

Since the Objective lists it together with 'htpasswd'
(Apache utility to create and manipulate password files)
I assume that it is meant to have some relationship with
the AuthGroupFile directive.

The closest I have found are some (non Apache Foundation!)
fora and blogs suggesting to use names like .htpasswd and
.htgroup for the files storing the access-account info.
Also, the name seems to have found its way into some of
the Perl modules related to Apache administration.

But since 'htgroup' is not an "official" term used by the
Apache Foundation, and since the AuthUserFile and
AuthGroupFile directives do not have default file names,
I don't think that it should appear in an exam question.

And I hope that 'htpasswd' is used exclusively to refer
to the utility program bearing this name.
