Isolating ntsec in a library is a big job, unnecessary. Setup probably needs only a small part of ntsec. Copying some functions from sec_acl.cc and security.cc should be enough. It seems to me that the main thing we want setup to set is the acl entry for the owner (which will Administrators if the user running setup is privileged) and for Everyone (i.e. both group and other). What else do you want to control? That shouldn't even require reading the passwd file. Pierre
