I think I narrowed what's broken: acl_root.

If I just use acl_page and the others, inside a group, it works just fine.
But if I try to use acl_root, it doesn't.

Also, if I use acl_root outside groups, it logs this:

WARNING: in file '/opt/argus/var/config' on line 43 - additional data not

by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
