Yep...this seems to work....
In the group.rb model I added...
validates :name, format: { with: /\./, message: "must include '.'
character" }
validates :path, format: { with: /\./, message: "must include '.'
character" }
...and the group name and paths now must have "." in them.
Not sure of the convention I'll use, but some kind of validates check
should do anything I want.
