It is _policy_ that does. And policy belongs to the >kernel not. Indeed this may not be something where Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations is a good thing. The best way to make sure everything works ok, is to draw out the specs for a policy and ensure it, but maybe it can't be enforced in the kernel. Unless the policy defined which directories (disregard the irony, please :) in the meta structure are available and off limits for mkdir et al. Sure this may be circumvented still by setting up an xml schema somewhere and so on and so forth. So my best guess probably is to have LSB extended with a damned good policy about How Things Work(tm) with the new meta system. -- mjt
