     That's the value of active... basically I get the impression that
the securityfilter maintainer has a day job.  Not that surprising,
though I do wish he'd post every now and then.

     That seems to be about it.  If there's more, I haven't seen it.
One of our guys puzzled out the configuration for our use.  I've been

to do that I'll write it up in semi-legible form and post it here.
