  12. Is there any way to make it so that only a root process can retrieve
  13. any information from NetInfo?  I had originally thought that just by chaning
  14. the permissions on niload/nidump I would be okay, but then I found this
  15. program "pwget" that shows the password file.  Any ideas?
