Doing this can be really expensive on your MySQL server, since every call to auth_newstate() in cyrus will iterate through all of the groups. A better way would be to write a mysql (and pgsql, and oracle) module for ptloader. 2.2 supports this sort of modularity with little or no difficulty. ptloader then takes care of caching and so on for you. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
