hi, 
   actually there are products that have been pumped out for 
"secure web server" market that really are... Ever heard of 
virtual vault. Looks real good to me. Uses a Plan 9 approach to 
access control which if you read the info on this product is 
very impressive. Also thru the grapevine the plan 9 project is 
being reved up:) This is the most fascinating os out there ALIMHO.
Well it has been a while but hps 'virtual vault' looks like they 
took the lessons learned so far from plan 9 and wrapped it into a
commercial secure web server. Would love to analyse it further 
but....
                                                Regards,
