Yup, I saw that code. Obviously Avalon/Phoenix needs to shift to a sandbox (no file io 
etc), and
sar's ask for extra rights, "all" being one of the things it can ask for in it's 
server.xml

How does a server app commincate this need of a nerly installed sar to the sysop who 
can grant it?
 Popup Dialog?... no I guess.  Console based y/n question - probably.  What's prpbably 
needed is
an abstraction of "Authorizer", which defaults to console but custom implementations 
can redirect
the grant request to other places/machines.

I'm quite out of my depth here on the security, however I did buy the Prentice Hall J2 
Network
Security book :-)
