First of all, as I've pointed many times before, this nothing to so with
the most common use of Photuris. This is _only_ for MLS workstations.
Could we have a "terminology check" here?
By "MLS", do you mean "Multi Level Secure" (aka military/orange
book/nondiscretionary access control), or something else?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.

[I see systems with multiple initiator and responder identities as
"multi user" systems, not "multi level" systems. While MLS systems are fairly
rare outside government, multi-user systems (especially in "server" roles) are
quite common. Am I completely off-base here?]
