Whatever code that comes out of this project will need to be accepted by Linus before it makes its way into the kernel tree, and I expect that making changes like this may put this at risk. You're asking for major changes to the semantics of the Linux system call interface, and speaking personally, I have yet to see a compelling argument for doing so. Does anyone have an existing system (SELinux, capabilities, SubDomain, etc.) that requires this functionality? I'm skeptical. _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
