Having thought about my recent dialogue about CDROM door locking it occurs to me that we really have two different classes of users with different requirements. It then occurred to me that perhaps the behaviour of the CDROM should be determined by the "Role" the workstation is playing. For example if the role is "workstation" then the user should be allowed to eject the cd at any time and the eject facility on the CDROM drive should not be disabled. Whereas if the role is multiuser focused (eg server or say terminal server) then the CD door should be locked when it is busy.
There are probably dozens of other instances like this where behaviour should be tailored to role. Perhaps we need to consider infrastructure to do this. Bob _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
