Objections, your honor.

We have this star as value of the _writers property, but still nobody  
seems to be able to write to the / netinfo domain except for root on our  
/-domain server (not even other local roots). We have been trying to find  
out what causes this nuisance, but to no avail so far.

Whenever we want to make a Nextprinter publicly accessible on the /  
domain, we get the error message:
	"Couldn't add <printername> to domain / because
	 No writes allowed: all objects are read only"

Anybody have any clue what this refers to? Which "objects" are these, and  
how does one change them from being "read only"?

Thank you very much for any hints.
