And?  Can you access groups without a password?

I don't understand.  I thought we were agreed that this was what you
wanted.

Oh, wait.

    What happens now:  "list" shows no groups

    What you want:  "list" returns 480

Correct?


Hmm.  Ok, I think if you get rid of the <FAIL> idea entirely (delete the
"default" line from the auth block and delete the entire <FAIL> access
block) you will get that behavior.
