Sysinfo classes are actually included in derby.jar, derbynet.jar, 
derbyclient.jar and derbytools.jar.  They also are of course in the 
classes directory, so the perssion actually needs to be there in the 
policy file for all four jars and classes to accommodate different 
classpaths and classpath orders.   For some  of these (like 
derbytools.jar I thinke) we already have permission for all properties, 
so it does not need to be added.

I will commit Lily's DERBY-4441 patch  Monday, so make sure you watch 
for that and make sure your client is synched up before you post a  patch.

Thanks
