Hi Tim,

the handling of groups for machine accounts seems to work well for me. I 
have a small setup with just a dozen machine accounts and about a hundred 
vouchers active at any given time. Migrating the setup seems to have worked 
well and changing groups of existing machine accounts as well.

I would like to add a wishlist item for (future) development:
Would it be possible to:
* Add a GUI (button?) to turn a named (voucher) account into a machine 
account, using the MAC of the last login and putting the (voucher) username 
into the comment field, and keeping the limits and expiry times unchanged?
* Add a possibility to create an account in a way that this happens 
automatically on first login?

The use case would be to spare the users the necessity to log in manually 
every time they return to the hotspot.

I hope this is the right place to express wishes and ideas - please advise 
if another place would be more appropriate.

Thank you for your efforts and if the proposal is useful to others maybe 
the feature will turn up in Grase some day?

Alan
