That's a great indication of why securelevels aren't. It pretty much fits the Linux model of "once you're root, you can do anything". The POSIX Capabilities really don't help either. I suppose SELinux might be able to help, but I don't care to get into that discussion here ;-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
