[hobbit] User management for Xymon?!

[Maik Heinelt]

  Well, that's what I said.
I already use mod_auth_mysql to ahndle with user logins,
but could you please explain, how to manage the all non-green function 
just for one folder?
This would be a nice feature, to make it possible, a user can see only 
all non-green machines for his folder.

I had the menu on Xymon only visible for local, just to avoid, a 
standard user can click on the "Show all non-green" link in there.

There are plenty of GUI clients already out there, and there are plenty of cool ways to handle User access/management, that I'd rather the dev team work on making Xymon do what it does best *even better*, and that's monitoring things.
