We are trying to figure out what names to use for things in v4. We have have 'types' of plugins, and these are object, perm (permission to perform an action), hash, and item (mostly used to enable the balancing code to balance objects stored in arbitrary items). Then we have particular 'instances' of these plugins, such as regular_file, or acl, or unix_perm, or directory, or audit, or encrypted. Then we have particular objects which fall within the instances of these plugins, which one of us has named 'subjects'. Thus my .bash_profile file would be the subject of the regular_file and unix_perm plugins. Subject seems not quite right. Anybody got a better set of names we can use? Hans
