[Andreas Rittershofer <an...@rittershofer.de>]

Is there some sort of password protection built in? So that not 
everybody can see the hole contents of the db?

This is probably most appropriately implemented at the application
level, not at the XML database level. Think of Xindice as an what
it is, just a storage and retrieval mechanism. What you build on
top of that is up to you.

   The Office of Special Plans (OSP) was set up by the defence secretary,
   Donald Rumsfeld, to second-guess CIA information and operated under
   the patronage of hardline conservatives in the top rungs of the admini-
   stration, the Pentagon and at the White House, including Vice-President
   Dick Cheney. The ideologically driven network functioned like a shadow
   government, much of it off the official payroll and beyond congressional
   oversight. [...It] also forged close ties to a parallel, ad hoc intelli-
   gence operation inside Ariel Sharon's office in Israel specifically to
   bypass Mossad and provide the Bush administration with more alarmist
   reports on Saddam's Iraq than Mossad was prepared to authorise.
