If anything I'd say that this has too many tunable nobs ! That is assuming all the auth modules you wish to use are hooked the same (e.g. middle) at the time they were compiled. And it doesn't allow for having different orderings/groupings for different parts of the server. But true - My proposal above would be to elminate any dependency on module load order and remove all the Authoritative stuff. sterling
