Re: Security Info

Hi,
Something I am now wondering is why most of the network configuration
tools are having to re-inventing the wheel, with having to add this extra
external program, which actually does the work. I know each are slight
different, but we are all doing the basic same thing.

I have noticed the scselect and scutil, which I'm guessing the network
system preference use's itself, so I'm wondering why does Apple publish an a
protocol spec for that, so we are all not re-engineering the same thing
again and again. This will also helps if a network administrator wants to
removed scselect, he can disable the changing of these, but if we adding
other utils to do this, this just make's this a more of a headache and a
security issue, as I guess everyone would be using a single point of entry

Is there a way to drive scutil ???.

Thanks

Mark.
