00:58.29alpha1-2Thanks for the answer, blast007.  I am trying to understand groups/users/permissions. What does this mean? What groups is this talking about?
00:58.33alpha1-2In setting up a server, you may want to specify  global  groups  that  will

01:00.03blast007the groupdb file assigns rights to a group
01:00.15allejoor multiple groups
01:00.43blast007(so, the name is a bit unclear... it doesn't define the groups, it defines the permissions that the groups get - so... more of a permission database)  ;)
01:01.58alpha1-2yes, but is this talking of some wide known trusted groups apart of those that server owner can create globally?
01:02.00allejoisn't that the reason there's a "db" in the command? :P
01:02.06allejo@ blast007
01:02.32allejoalpha1-2, it's talking about the global groups you want to have loaded on your server
01:02.48blast007allejo: I mean it's a permissions database rather than a groups database
01:03.15allejoahhhh makes sense
01:03.18allejomisread
01:04.04blast007alpha1-2: there are global groups, which are groups of players
01:04.23blast007you can get your own groups, or you could use someone elses' groups
01:04.58allejofor example, gu league servers will have GU-LEAGUE.ADMINS and GU-LEAGUE.SPAWN etc.
01:05.57alpha1-2ah ok, those ones

04:32.06alpha1-2I understand. If I had had BZ installed (instead of just compiled) in my system, those invocations would have been redirected to the manual pages automatically. Actually, I have to find the files manually.
