Does that mean that you can't tell if there is a difference?  Or that
you don't care to share it?

So you don't know if it is or is not hard.  However easy or hard it may
be, you don't want anyone to have to do it.  Is that right?

How do you square this with your "*shrug*" and "[p]erhaps not" quips?

This thread is way too long already, but a) it's not a year-long, b)
none of it proves anything about how hard or difficult it is to get RBAC
right.  On the contrary, it proves that there are engineers willing to
help the i-team.

[Alas, at this point I'm not helping the signal-to-noise ratio.  So I'm
moving this to opensolaris-arc at opensolaris.org.  I don't intend to
continue this thread unless new information comes along though.]
