Known Bugs

The following are known bugs present in the NetInfo Kit.

Return codes for the various panels are not documented. They are EXIT_OK (value 1), EXIT_REMOVE (value 2), EXIT_CANCEL (value 3). At this point EXIT_REMOVE is only present for historical (pre 1.0) value. EXIT_OK is returned when the action of the panel is selected (i.e. OK or Login...). EXIT_CANCEL is returned when the Cancel button is selected.

Passing a NULL domain to the NILoginPanel may cause a crash on a derefenced pointer if and only if the default NetInfo style login is selected. If a delegate is chosen to do the authentication, a NULL value is legal.
