Security
Security in LysKOM is based on two components. Each person has a set
of privileges and each session has a security level. Rights in the
system require both the sufficient privileges and a sufficient
security level. The privileges currently available are wheel,
admin, statistic, create-conf, create-pers
and change-name. Security levels range from 0 to 255.
