1) As far as I recall DS itself does not have a "is X a member of Y" API call. Instead we have to use memberd. The PyAppleAuth module that the wiki uses has an API into memberd, though interesting they force memberd to reload its cache each time due to a purported bug. The question is whether memberd is doing anything different than what we are doing today? All we may end up doing is removing the complexity we have in favor of memberd - but then we depend on that to work properly.
The kernel does a lot of "is X in group Y" lookups. DaveO tells me this is very fast. Doug, do you know what this flushing the cache is about? -wsv
