Summary: $GroupPattern entries should be case-sensitive on unix

Description: When specifying $GroupPattern in config.php, the wiki is allowing groups to be added/accessed that do not match what is entered in the list.

$GroupPattern = '(?:Site|SiteAdmin|PmWiki|Profiles|GROUPName)';

allows "groupname" or "GroupName", etc. to be added...and should not.

The default case-insensitive RegExp processing is not a bug, and changing it may break a number of existing wikis. But you can set this sub-pattern to case-sensitive with the -i switch, see below. --Petko July 17, 2009, at 01:24 PM

  $GroupPattern = '(?-i:Site|SiteAdmin|PmWiki|Profiles|GROUPName)';

And the BasicVariables page was updated. --Petko July 17, 2009, at 01:32 PM
