> From an e-mail discussion:
> ... Derby should match the security  provided by typical client server systems such as DB2, Oracle, etc. I 
> think in this case system/database owners are trusting the database 
> system to ensure that their system cannot be attacked. So maybe if Derby 
> is booted as a standalone server with no security manager involved, it 
> should install one with a default security policy. Thus allowing Derby 
> to use Java security manager to manage system privileges but not 
> requiring everyone to become familiar with them.

> I imagine such a policy would allow any access to databases under derby.system.home and/or user.home.
> By standalone I mean the network server was started though the main() method (command line).
