Yeah, OK, I know the concepts, I've seen them done in the kernel,
I'll give it some thought. Might even rough in a few bits & peices.
Not sure why I asked.
Oh, here's why I asked: the big conceptual leap is that security
presumes that there's a gnucash server, since I don't know of any
way of enforcing security with a library (at least not in Unix).
Now, there are some cheesey SQL hacks one could do to enforce security ...
should I provision for those?
If there's really a gnucash server, this raises that ugly question
again of what's the client-server protocol. For which I used to have
a clear answer, but now its dimmed a bit ...
