   This is a good idea.  But if the fourth set of permissions specifies
   read, write, and execute for computers other than my own, do I want to
   treat all computers other than my own equally?  Maybe I have a file that
   I want to be writable by people on machines within my group, but read-only
   for everyone else.  This suggests that the ability to specify groups of
   machines is useful as well, which is sorta kinda what .rhosts does.

Actually, tho fourth set of permissions specifies access by any user
who has no UID, with out any disambiguation based on how that user
connected to the machine.
