/. has just be reduced to a junk yard where all the developers, frustated by achievements (althought monopolistic) by the MS, look down and frown at the Gates family. Hey okay, the Gates and Windows guys might be acting smart, but they do deliver the products that do really work. It seems most of the comments here, regarding security are by the peoply who have never touched Windows boxes or used / are using the prehistoric Win 3.0/3.11 or Win9x machines. Just shake off ur impotency and provide a security system for Linux that can stand up to the security system (ACLs and DACLs) of the Win NT / 2K platform.
ACLs provide very little security in
a practical sense because they are
almost impossible to administer.
Security provided by MS NT / Win2K in by using ACLs / DACLs is just fascinating. How much programming have you done in NT security before posting this? Have you anytime at least configured a DCOM server? ACLs provide facility to grant / deny the permissions viz. 'read / write / execute / administer' on any object in NT. And this facility is far superior as compared to the primitive drwx facility on the *nix OSes. Using ACLs you can set permissions on directory / file / thread / COM object... For more information read the "Security" topic in MSDN, where you can find all the required APIs, information and help.
I think people keep forgetting that Microsoft is not the single player in the C# development. The other companions are Intel and HP... So you/.ers stop bitching about MS.
