Client Groups

The client groups feature gives administrators a method of assigning access
permissions to a set of clients. The administrator creates a client group, gives it
a name, and then inserts clients into the group by client name or IP address.
After the client group is created, the administrator adds or removes
permissions for the entire group, instead of allowing or denying access for
each individual client machine.
Figure 4-19. Client groups
NOTE: Currently, the client group is allowed to assume the same name as a client. When
this duplication occurs, the client is obscured from the view of the server. For example,
assume that a client d4 exists. If you create a client group called d4, you can no longer
assign permissions to just the client d4. Any reference to d4 now refers to client group d4.
