title: RMISecurityManager vs. SecurityManager
body: <p>According to the <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/rmi/RMISecurityManager.html" rel="nofollow">Java API documentation</a>,</p>
  
  <blockquote>RMISecurityManager implements a policy that is no different than the policy implemented by SecurityManager. Therefore an RMI application should use the SecurityManager class or another application-specific SecurityManager implementation instead of this class.</blockquote>
  
  <p>If this is the case, then what is the point of having a separate RMISecurityManager class?  Are there any situations where it should be used over SecurityManager?</p>
