What exactly would be necessary for such a hardcoded ACL? I'm
afraid I'm not really sure what kind of architecture we're planning to
use for authorization. Security tokens or something similar? 

Some other (meta?) things I think we need for a TP release:

- The current HOWTO doesn't yet mention SWAT, perhaps other important 
  things as well
- A list of features that should work and features that don't yet work 
  would be useful
- Some sort of introduction and explanation of change in architecture
  wrt Samba 3, details on where we are (what is a technology
  preview?) and instructions for bug reports / wishlist items
- Bugzilla product (already appears to be there)

(please comment)

I agree, but since I've already put the effort in I might as well go
ahead with it.

Cheers,
