Securing CGI secure by monitored hosts

Hi all,

All these questions about securing hobbit has made me think about our hobbit
set-up.  Is there a way to secure the actions taken by scripts in the secure
CGI directory to acting on specific listings in the bb-hosts file?  We have
one group responsible for printers which is completely different from the
group responsible for servers.  We would like to give the group responsible
for printers the ability to put printers in maintenance mode, but would not
want them to have the same access to servers.  We are running a generic
hobbit section of the httpd.conf file with users defined via the htpasswd
command.

Thanks,
Bruce
