I'd want to attract a bit of attention to the following issue: : Date: Wed, 20 Dec 1995 16:04:51 -0600 : From: Mike Karels <karels@BSDI.COM> : To: bsdi-users@BSDI.COM : Subject: BSD/OS 2.1 and BSDI information [... feature list skipped, some of them are neat, really ...] But _this_ is the most interesting and valuable: : User classes : Passwd file lists class for each user : Per-class limits, priorities, restrictions : Separate authentication and authorization : Additional authentication schemes: : cryptographic tokens: cryptocard, activecard, snk004 : one-time passwords Can anyone explain, what does it _really_ mean? How is it done? Is this a BSDI's own invention or there are some existing prototypes of this feature? Any known papers/techreports about "user classes" and their implementation? -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 An undocumented feature is a coding error.
