Subject: Jade-S: questions about the security policy

Hi!
Some more questions ...
In the Security Administrators Guide in paragraph 2.7 Delegation:
There is an example about permissions to read a text file.
But there is no Jade permission which allows an agent to read files.
ok, there are Java permissions for file IO, but how do I apply them
to agents?
Can I do something like
grant principal jade.security.impl.PrincipalImpl "alice" {
permission java.io.FilePermission "D:\\tmp\\-", "read,write";
}
and can an agent belonging to alice delegate a restricted permission,
e.g. an agent belonging to bob may only read the file D:\tmp\for_bob.txt.
(He may not write into it and he may not read/write anything other in
D:\tmp?)
Do you have already any answers to my questions from last Friday?
