My understanding is that Apple is dumping NetInfo in favor of Open
Directory (which is based on LDAP). Hopefully they have proper
access-control mechanisms built into that. I can understand their
unwillingness to spend time fixing a subsystem that is going away
soon.
Does Mac OS X Server exhibit the same behavior? Maybe the XServe
argument is a moot point.
