  But "principle" and "principal" are two different WORDS, not
just two different spellings of the same word.

Well...the following line is out of a syngress SSCP study guide:

"Network security administration is comprised of a base set of
principles.  Concepts such as accountability, least privilege, and
authentication are all included..."

All,

I'm looking for a definition of the term "Security Principal" - I 
understand what one is and I'm aware of the use of the term 
in Micro$oft 
products; I need to have a proper definition, assuming it's 
not an MS-
specific thing!

Can any of you security chaps and chapesses help me out?

Many Thanks

Paul
