How about:

r: View in web interface

x: Submit commands for this host/service

w: Not really needed yet.  Maybe some of the other programs that allow 
you to modify the configuration files could use w to allow a user to 
modify the host / service.

n: Notify if contact has a pager or email defined

I also changed it so that you will only see a service if you are a 
contact for it.  I think this is the same change that Ton mentioned in 
his last email.  I did this to test the 'r' permission.

For backwards compatibility, the default would be rwxn.

So, the engineers would have: nrx, customer: nr and helpdesk r.

Attached is an updated patch.
