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.
