Subject: ACLs and Capabilities
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2004 00:05:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040602000547.GU5690@lkcl.net> (raw)

... the significant difference between [most!] implementations
of "access control" and capabilities is that with capabilities,
what you may wish to do simply.... isn't there, full stop,
and with "access control", it's _all_ there, and on each
type of operation, something checks whether you are "allowed"
to do that operation.

... *click*  who am _i_ teaching???  i'll shut up now.  l.
