And it would *definately* be better than HP-UX!  Well, if we could
add on partition striping, cdf's and acl's (yes I like them both :) -
ACL's at least (if working) could help NetBSD towards being suitable for
a higher rating then "C2" (I guess most people don't care about that but
some do) - then, mmmm :-)

p.s. yeah, I've got an account on a snake running 9.04 and I find the
     acl's very useful if you want to open up files like .plan but
     nothing else and to only "nobody" (for fingerd).  If I had the time
     I'd have done them already for netbsd :)
