I've also been thinking about how we're going to handle processing the nested groups, and I think what I'm going to do is take advantage of some of the nicer features of libcollection. Internal processing of setnetgrent_send() will recursively call out a subrequest to setnetgrent_send() again for each of the named nested groups. The setnetgrent_recv() function will return a libcollection object containing all of the results from that request (as well as any additional subrequests called). When the results come back up, they can be added together trivially using the col_add_collection_to_collection() interface with the col_add_mode_clone mode. - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
