I've sneaked a couple of references to capability documents
(by you good people) into recent security discussions:

My capability URL work has got some users but I haven't yet got any feedback
on how easy they find it to use - nor any firm proof they use it effectively.
The next month should change that.

I've also had a stunning POMA request from someone wanting to run a set of
"ps ...| grep ..." commands as root (and he didn't say anything about these
leading to use of kill).
