Re: multimple domain authentication

I want to come up with a better idea before starting to make code changes.

But what we could consider trying right now with no change is the crude
proposal I mentioned before:   I add users ucalgary and lanl on authdom
grid and you put the keys in your bootes factotum file with the right
speaksfor or other fields.  I need to check out the details.
