I'd *love* to see group authentication..  I don;t believe that exists
today.  Specifically, given a username and password, the
authentication scheme should load a list of the groups the user is in
and act accordingly..

I don't mind which authentication plugin has this, tho obviously
AuthUser would be the simplest..

If this was added recently and I'm not aware of it, feel free to jump
up and down and toss the Fine manual at me...
