(JDK 1.1.2 is actaully a new JDK release, not the beta 2 release of JDK
1.1, but that's just nomenclature ...)

Netscape Navigator does not honor the access control lists that you
set up in ~/.hotjava. That file is read by the JDK appletviewer but
not by the Netscape Navigator.

If you want the applet to work outside the sandbox, you have a couple
options

a) install the applet on the client, in a directory on the
client's CLASSPATH

- or -

b) try experimenting with HotJava and its support for
partial access for signed applets. There is a demo
on how to use create and sign a JAR file at
http://java.sun.com/security/usingJavakey.html

In future releases of Java-enabled browsers, there will be
easier/better ways to accomplish this, but for now, these are your
best options.
