Java has the ability to grant permissions like accept and connect without
program modification.
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/security/PolicyFiles.html for
administrative details. See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/net/SocketPermission.html for
socket permissions.
That said, it would be nice to have a generic freenet permission interface
to for other things besides cluster/gateway control. Like maybe node
bandwidth quotas (per month) and file length quotas. The number of
parameter switches is already getting unmanagable (ever here of
-dsminsz?).
Also, I think y'all are overdoing the China/dissident thing. Businesses
also have a stake in systems that preserve anonymity. For the amount of
financial transactions that are happening on the Internet, security of
this beast should be our number one concern. Didn't anyone elses credit
card number get stolen from Egghead?
