    RE: iSCSI MIB last call



    I don't think that sort of function should be provided at the SCSI transport
    layer since it's not something that's defined by SCSI as a feature of it's
    transport.  It would be a wart on the iSCSI transport (IMO).  Read/write
    access should be controlled by the SCSI or file system layer.
