The original code was based on the understanding that domain local
groups are only valid in our domain (in a native 2k domain).  Are domain
local groups from a parent domain even meaningful in a child domain ?
This could be my bug based on a misunderstanding.  But it was tested a
good deal during the PSA development cycle and did what it was intended
to do.





cheers, jerry
