How does GateKeeper grant permissions to DAs? Evidently you grant permission for access priviliges on a per-program basis by name. But what about DAs, like DeskZap, which might need permissions? Surely you cannot simply grant permission to DA Handler without granting privileges to all DAs. Wayne Folta (folta@tove.umd.edu 128.8.128.42)

Unless Chris has changed it in the forthcoming version, I believe this is correct -- you must give permissions to the DA Handler. Not much of a problem under MultiFinder (i.e. a virus *could* install itself as a DA, but then you'd have to run it, etc.). But under UniFinder, it seems that you'd have to give permission to *any program that might open that DA*. Be careful...
