Stewart" <sstewart#or,cadix.com> Newsgroups: rec.games.mud.lp Subject: Functional Security Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 14:23:46 -0800 The few LPC security schemes I have looked at seem to emphasize file system security (the ability to read or write a file). Is functional security (the ability to invoke a function in an object) downplayed, or have I missed something? When I looked at the Lima code, I saw that the monster "die()" function had no security.... Does this mean that a "hostile" wizard could create an object which calls that function on any given target? I can imagine a Mud where wizards have creation capability, but compete against each other, and are therefore bound by certain rules. In such a situation, you would not want one wizard to call the functions in another's object. -- Scott -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net (Contractor) Internet: coder#ibm,net ---------(*) Internet: claw#under,engr.sgi.com ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </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="00780" HREF="msg00780.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] (fwd) Functional Security</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Matt Chatterley <matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org></li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00777" HREF="msg00777.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] (fwd) Functional Security</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Ling <K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00774.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00775.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00789.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] (fwd) Functional Security</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00777.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] (fwd) Functional Security</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00776"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00776"><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>3D engines for MUDs</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00876" HREF="msg00876.html">3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Tue 24 Mar 1998, 15:30 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00866" HREF="msg00866.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] 3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Mon 23 Mar 1998, 23:21 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00791" HREF="msg00791.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] (fwd) Functional Security</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Fri 20 Mar 1998, 16:47 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00789" HREF="msg00789.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] (fwd) Functional Security</A></strong>, Felix A.
