This situation where someone else can delete my files is extremely
serious.  Consider that I might use ADSM to distribute software.  I know
this is done because I have installed software that I have received
over the network from ADSM at another site.  If I grant access to
someone else so that they can retrieve my files, I have no control
over how their machine is set up.  If the machine they are on allows
them to delete archived or backed-up files, then they can delete
my files, and there is nothing I can do about it, unless I choose
to never allow anyone else access to my files.
