It was never meant to be something that should be depended upon by MIB developers as information they'd have available to them (agentx is a prime example of that; it's expected to be a completely trusted protocol only communicating with a master that has already validated who's looking for the information and out of scope of what the subagent should have to worry it's pretty little head about). -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
