I seemed to have written a not enough message.

'hidden' in my previous mail means (should be) hidden from the outside user
such as ftp user, html reader, and uninvited intruder.

For an example, if I have something should be public to the members of internal
Plan 9 users, which looks like (world-wide readable)

'none' user also can read this.  I think you mean, in that case we should have
some group permission to common to 'all' the members.   However, it's combersome
to have such group which includes all the internal members but outside ones.
This will be solved just if we don't have 'none' user.  This is the point I wanted to
write.  Of course I know Plan 9 solved much about the problem of super user by
making the file server standalone, and separated it from terminals etc.

PS.  If we have confidence we will not be intruded, this is not a serious problem
of course.
