Hi Andrea,
Do you have plans to generalize seccomp into somelike like a "syscall firewall"? This _would_ be useful to many apps, and provide good security benefits - for example, vsftpd does not need most of the previously-buggy syscalls such as sysctl(), mremap() and execve(). But it does need more than just read(), write() and exit()!
