Actually, now that I think about it, if all the ptserver instances are

-localauth. (but aklog doesn't *require* ptserver; see afslog)

But localauth doesn't even require the "bos adduser" list...

I guess I'm just wondering if the bos userlist can be eliminated and
bosserver/volserver can use system:administrators instead.  I'll write
up a patch adding an option for this unless there's some reason why
this is a Very Bad Idea.

bosserver can't depend on ptserver..

I think we're going in circles here... didn't you indicate above that
"-localauth" should be used in situations where bosserver must be used
without any running ptservers?

That's bos. i said "bosserver can't depend on ptserver".

Your mind is going in circles, my explanation is not.

How does the bosserver decide you're eligible if there's no ptserver?
Well, it times out and then just allows localauth. Timeout. Ick.
