And we also need to delete the class files for NIAccess and

I was perfectly aware that they were private. It just appeared strange
to me.
I would also like to point out that I have filed bugs, and I have looked
at it myself (the source, I mean), and that I have indeed written an
Objective-C wrapper for it. There we are, happy now?
The current shape of the Darwin system and the length of time it takes
for patches to get committed has put me off familiarizing myself with
the source enough to find out what's going on. Also, it didn't look to
me like AuthorizationTrampoline was open, but then I didn't look
terribly hard.
Also, it seems like Apple is moving away from having just NetInfo as the
directory system, and authentication of LDAP is also supported, and I
guess this can only be accomplished with Security.framework.
I apologise for the general tone of my last e-mail, I am aware that it's
still a very young technology (under a year, I guess), but I was venting
my frustration, and it didn't sound like anybody at Apple was listening.
Your points were insightful nonetheless.
Thanks,
