Bruce, others who might know,
Can anyone gaze into the crystal ball, and answer if POSIX.1e- style permissions might find their way into Cobalt units in the "near future"? Solaris has it. FreeBSD is working on it. Linux is working on it. Although such would complicate management in some ways, I think it would actually be _easier_ by specifying directly the desired permissions, instead of getting creative with group membership. I ask this because so many questions here and on -users stem from Unix's rather inflexible, and antiquated, permissions system. P.S. -- Yes, I know, POSIX.1e was abandoned by the IEEE. It still is useful.
