Subject: Denying access to methods on DRb

Hi

What is the way to specify that only some methods on an object
exposed via Drb can be accessed? Reading the source, I found the
INSECURE_METHOD array, so this is what I'm doing now:

module Foo
  # some methods
end

class Bar
  include Foo

  # I want Bar's own methods to be available via DRb, but not the
  # ones from Foo
  def initialize
    Foo::instance_methods.each { |meth|
      DRb::DRbServer::INSECURE_METHOD << meth.intern
    }
  end

  # some methods
end

Is this the only way to do this or is there something cleaner?

Thanks,
Andre
