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.

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.
