Hesiod isn't a security system. It's simply a name service for arbitrary
objects and services which is built on top of the familiar Internet domain
naming system; it simply generalizes the notion of what can be stored by
the DNS. That's all. It serves the same function as Sun's Yellow Pages,
more or less.
