I've debated this over and over, and the main win of a single-root system is security. If you can create your own object root at any time, its easy for joe-programmer to override all security subsystems. By restricting to one root object, all it means is design it right, only put security subsystems on $root them spawn sub roots for each 'world'. -Brandon Gillespie </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="01485" HREF="msg01485.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="01314" HREF="msg01314.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01362.html">Population container</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01364.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "short" Introductory Message (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01317.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01485.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#01363"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#01363"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="01306" HREF="msg01306.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong>, Miroslav Silovic <a href="mailto:silovic#srce,hr">silovic#srce,hr</a>, Thu 12 Jun 1997, 14:45 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01314" HREF="msg01314.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Fri 13 Jun 1997, 05:42 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01315" HREF="msg01315.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Fri 13 Jun 1997, 10:24 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01317" HREF="msg01317.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Fri 13 Jun 1997, 11:40 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01363" HREF="msg01363.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong>, Brandon Gillespie <a href="mailto:brandon#roguetrader,com">brandon#roguetrader,com</a>, Fri 20 Jun 1997, 04:55 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01485" HREF="msg01485.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] "From Kansas to Oz"</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Wed 25 Jun 1997, 06:59 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01259" HREF="msg01259.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The laws of probability</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Sat 10 Jan 1970, 03:27 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01286" HREF="msg01286.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The laws of probability</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Wed 11 Jun 1997, 10:18 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01240" HREF="msg01240.html">[RP] The thoughful player</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Thu 08 Jan 1970, 06:51 GMT </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
