Thanks for the comments. This is fixed in JDK 1.2. You can set up
the policy file for your enterprise to say that any applet from www.sun.com
is allowed to connect to any computer in the *.sun.com domain. Similar
fine grain control is possible for all the various things the security manager
currently checks: file system access, properties access, loading libraries
or DLLs, etc.

For more information about JDK 1.2 security, see
