RE: User Spaces

Actually, a validation list would probably not be the best thing to use for 
this. Validation lists are special files (at least conceptually) that store a 
user identifier, an encrypted password, and optionally, some other data. The 
problem with getting at the "some other data" is you need a password to get at 
it and then the structure ends up being a mess of pointers to data structures. 
Validation lists are great for password protecting web content and even FTP 
(via an exit program) but I don't think are a good fit in this case.

Could you be more specific?  What exactly is a validation list?  Also,
my idea was to load all the security for the entire application into the
User Space, so isn't that also encapsulated into one entity?

Just trying to understand...
