    Ok. Now I'm thoroughly lost.
    
    I thought you were initially concerned about making a module that did
    neat things but also worked exactly like Unix.
    
    Now, I think you are concerned about writing an application that runs
    with all privileges root has on traditional Unix no matter what module
    is loaded.
    
    
    In the first case, the _whole point_ of the module is to take away
    root's permissions.
    
    In the second case, your application is going to be run with exactly the
    privileges the local administrator _wants_ you to have, no matter what
    module he or she has installed, so why try to fight that and ask for
    full root access as you are used to?
    
    
    Either way, I'm confused. :)
