That is, indeed, a good point. In a well controlled environment, (good 
attention paid to physical security as well as controlled authorities), it 
should not be needed. I am not sure, however, that it is possible to 
always make that assumption.

Maybe, in a future release of DIRMAINT, it will be possible to configure 
the default (it would be nice but I am not really expecting to see it 
before I retire !!).
