Does anyone know if NeXTs plans on refining access restrictions to NetInfo? There's trusted_networks but that's pretty coarse. How about a trusted_users property, for each NetInfo directory? And, on a related note, NeXT said they were going POSIX compliant sometime in the "near" future... did they say anything about C2 as well? If so (or even if not, so I guess it's a boolean certainty, this question coming up) any plans for a shadow password type deal, so that the encrypted passwords are stored either in a secure NetInfo directory (if such a thing can exist) or somewhere else? Why am I asking all these questions? I dunno... Thanks for any information. ------ Mike Matthews, matthews@oberon.umd.edu (NeXTmail accepted) ------ In the pitiful, multipage, connection-boxed form to which the flowchart has today been elaborated, it has proved to be useless as a design tool -- programmers draw flowcharts after, not before, writing the programs they describe. - Fred Brooks, Jr.
