Other protocols have had bad experiences with this, often because it's extremely difficult to tell in advance whether something you want to do is going to be only a local change and then you end up wanting to standardize things in the local use area. I don't know if we'd be able to pull it off. There's some predecent in the additional ACL bits. I'm not sure in which direction that example is an argument, though. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
