To follow up on my recent message to www-security ... On the drive
home, I realized that an apology is in order to those people who, upon
reading my abuse of the word "compartment", wished they were dead just
so they would be able to turn over in their grave. Though I do not
work with such OSes on a regular basis like some folks I know, the
UNIX chroot() feature does not a compartmentalized OS make. (And come
to think of it, the license-manager-avoidance scheme was pretty lousy,
too.) Sorry 'bout getting a bit carried away.
-Scott
