Good - one down.

Fine - two down.

That's certainly possible.
It's just that:

view   system   included  .1.3.6.1.2.1
view   system   included  .1.3.6.1.2.25.1
authcommunity -v system read public

feels simpler than having to faff about with the full 4-stage
access directives.

But that''s what the '-v' option would do.
I wasn't proposing that this should automatically set up the
named views - that's the role of "view".
More a case of:
    If a named view is provided, then use it.
    Otherwise, set up a dedicated (anonymous) view, and use that.

Probably only one non-trivial one.
What is the relationship between "auth{user,community} and your previous
"setaccess" directive?

Right.
I'm *much* happier* with the latest proposals.
There are probably a couple of things that ciould usefully be
added, but I'll wait till Monday, when I can re-synch with
your latest code first.


Have a good weekend.

Dave
 first
