You are probably correct on my time having come to check out
whether a rich authorization model can now be accomplished in
the *nix environments with their addon Ldap variants.
Second, let's look at Microsoft authentication since we have a
sticking point here. What authentication was NT Authentication base
solely on? Hummmm, RADIUS! That is right neither NT Authentication
nor Kerberos were invented by Microsoft, they were "borrowed"! But
hey, at least Microsoft has not tried to patent it yet, like IM
smiles and mice "double clicks"...
Third, UNIX has a richer authentication scheme than Windows has ever
had...face it if you dare or ignore it if you can stand the truth,
but, a fact is a fact...
In the security community, the difference between authentication and
authorisation is _huge_.
Please don't treat them as if they are the same.
The rich authorisation model that is under discussion here includes the
implementation of groups, ACLs and the like. What granularity does Unix
have? I know some systems have implemented some ACL-like syntax, but I'm
too far out of the Unix field to remember for certain.
