SubjectRe: again security proposal

Well...


I have one proposal. While I work quiet near Yuri, I don't agree with him.
Of _course_ we cannot afford such a costly thing as standard violation in
this ugly way.

But. We can concider denial of not-owner-hardlinks as a security feature
for some special systems. I.e. this can be security option in kernel.

Thoose, who wants it this way - will enable it. For example, near
everybody who runs ifmail, will need it.

I can even imagine not-owner-hardlinks as not the only security option in
security options config sections.

What do you think?
