Hidden hostgroups

[Larry Bills]

That works fine except if you are using something like SiteMinder with 
your HR LDAP to authenticate, and HR will not let any generic names (not 
employees) in the LDAP, this is a prob. that we would like resolved also 
with a view only option in configs. In large applications, in large 
companies, with many help desks and support groups, it can be a real 
problem and is for us. The "band aids" just don't work with strict 
authentication methods and rules.
