console.umbc.edu now has console-line level access control.

The new field after the "auto/noauto" flags, is a comma-delimited list of
"groups" that can access this console. Users still have to "sudo" to use console,
however, their access is restricted to the /var/console/bin/console program.

The groups are defined in the /var/console/etc/groups file -- it is simply a list of group names, followed by a colon, then a comma separated list of group members.
