How about Olaf Dietsche's filesystem capabilities support? It has been
posted a couple times to LK, yesterday even.
We've had capabilities for ages (2.2?) but no filesystem support.
OpenBSD is recently bragging about no longer having any SUID root
binaries on the system.
With FS capabilities we (Linux) can have the same situation. Security
is a hot topic, and anything the kernel can do make security
better/easier seems worthy of consideration.
