Re: clarification on use of groups

[Mark . Burgess]

Hi - you cannot specify groups in the admit section, but you
can use groups to define classes that can be used to predicate
an admit rule e.g.

groups:

  mygroup = ( +nisgroup )

admit:

 mygoup::

   /file   *.domain

Alertantively you could make a list:

control:

 list = ( a.b.c.d:A.B.C.D:m.n.x.y )

admit:

   file  $(list)

The domain variable is used in cases where fully qualified names
are not specified.

PS - there is no dest= in admit.
