I spent some time chatting with a friend of mine who has agreed to look it over. Basically I am trying to accomplish what you have done above but allow for each of the multi-sites to have their own distinct permission/group list.

For Example Ted could be a:

Super Admin on Site A
Registered User on Site B
Author on Site C

I really appreciate the help MMX

I noticed the configuration.php would write out the addional changes also last night. I just resigned to editing it myself and uploading it.
It's probably possible to build a component based on Tom's original idea. Since at least one of the modified files (mambo.php) is also modified for Alex Kempkin's Mambelfish, there should be some discussion about this. That is, whether or not to merge this code with Mambelfish (which Alex might prefer because he needs a multisite fix for something else) or optionally install a modfied mambo.php if Mambelfish is already installed on users systems. To handle this properly, Mambelfish probably needs the same smarts.

If we do a component, it's possible to do what you want regarding permissions but it means finishing off the incomplete phpGACL implementation. That adds a big can of worms because it really should be handled in a separate thread. There is miles of feedback in other threads located all over the place about what the ACL permissions should and should not do. Otherwise, hookup with Travis Swicegood and integrate his earlier authentication/acl work into whatever comes of this.
