Not much, really, when I take a look at the topics. Unfortunately it alraady /is/ two chapters (considered MAC to be a chapter in it's own right), so all it does is move MAC down a level and move the other host-based stuff to a new Local/Host/whatever chapter name. Redistributes the text between the two chapters in a more intuitive fashion would be one way of stating the idea. -T -- Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
