Trust system? Haven't been too much into that. One of the things I've
worked on with an offshoot of bpl11 has been reorganizing zone controls to
specific people via access control lists. Kinda like giving immortals
read, write or both methods of access to specific people (this information
is saved into the zone file).
You can enable/disable or change the minimum level for commands (disabling
a command is basically setting the min-level to -1). All commands are kept
in an ascii file format, and read from this file upon boot. I'll need to
modify it some for stock bpl12, since it requires more than just changes to
command_interpreter(), also since I totally removed the idea of subcommands
from version I'm playing with, it'll require some tweaks there as well.
File format is:
<command name> <min position> <minimum level> <command index> <sub command>
Whitespace is unimportant, comments are denoted by "#", comments can be
anywhere on the line. Valid lines are only those with 5 arguments.
Since you can't store function pointers, =) the <command index> is just the
number of that command in a master array.
