		Once the authentication is successful and the Plan 9 kernel returns a capability to the server process, the capability can be used by the server process to impersonate the requesting user, also without requiring any special privileges.
		Thus, it seems likely that Plan 9 is much less vulnerable to an entire class of attacks that have plagued UNIX systems in recent years.
