Controversial what if.... we disable ntsec by default again?


Having ntsec on by default has shown us that the imperfect mapping between
ACLs and file modes can cause a *lot* of problems. Essentially, for ntsec to
be useful, a fair amount of caring for permissions is required. New users
are often not prepared for this. Hence: what about making ntsc off by
default again?


If not, I guess the ntsec code needs to be spun off into a seperate library,
where setup can get at it too.


Max.
