Peter's email discusses the nature of some of the projects (kernel support, PAM support, etc). My feeling is that the concept of a PAG will require some further refinement before any implementation takes place. Issues include garbage collection, call-backs, transition across setuid (syscall, not app) boundaries, etc. Robert N Watson Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe afs" in the body of the message
