The worldview of "administrators and users" is a bit limiting; in real life there are a lot of roles on the spectrum in-between. Supporting this workstyle (by letting non-superusers create pts groups, manipulate ACLs, etc) has always been one of AFS's great strengths. It would be a shame to erode it. - a _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
