There are also some other related projects.
The Linux-Privs project is adding posix 1e capabilities to Linux. This
keeps the admin from having to give away the whole system to setuid
programs. It doesn't solve problems for users that want to run untrusted
programs without having them able to do annoying things to them.
There is information on this at:
http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/doc/linux-privs.html/linux-privs.html
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/elfcap.html
There is also the Dionysix project to develop a posix environment on top
of EROS. I don't know how active this project really is. You can find out
more about EROS at:
