just to clarify.... you have a user ( jack ) and he is in 
multiple groups ( webadmin, user, pppadmin, etc ) and you 
want to do something like 
require group webadmin
in your .htaccess file? 

Does that sound right? I've got mod_auth_sql on one of my 
servers. I can ( probablly ) take a closer look at it tonight 
and figure out how I have the group stuff configured. 

I can't get to that test system during the day.
