Hi Walt,

The acache (attribute cache) and ncache (name cache) are both based on a generic timeout cache interface (tcache). It shouldn't be hard to build up a capability cache using tcache, and will allow you to handle timeouts for capabilities separate from the attributes, which I would imagine you're going to want to do. There's a good chance Rob will explode if you call it ccache though.

Hey all,

I'm not an expert on the a-cache and d-cache, so I wanted to get some opinion from the group before diving into something. We are going to need to manage capabilities on the client. My gut intuition say they should go in the a-cache, but I don't know how a big a deal it is to add an arbitrary sized blob into that. Would it be better to create a new c-cache, or should it be easy enough to add it to the a-cache?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Walt
