That is because the OS X security model is not identical to the
FreeSDB security model - which you would have discovered if you had
read Apple's documentation.
You are trying to force your BSD-only knowledge into using OS X and
your square peg just won't fit in the round hole.
Try reading the docs before you jump to conclusions.
I have read the docs, and I obviously understand them better than you
do. You're just blowing hot air based on the assumption that all
details of Mac OS X were specifically designed by apple to be exactly
the way they are.
The kerberos stuff is provided by MIT, not apple. Most of the BSD
stuff, as well as an increasing number of libraries that apple
incorporates into Foundation and AppKit, are not provided by apple and
are not even heavily reviewed by them.
