Presumably, the programs will not have POSIX.6 privs granted to them,
in distributions, if they've not been upgraded to deal with those
privs.
However, distributions ought to provide systems which are reasonably
secure under any of the kernel configurations made possible by this
project (root priv, root priv + posix.6, posix.6 alone). [Thus, my
blathering...]
It will be interesting to see how much ground the final posix standard
covers. So far, I've no clue what the command line interface is going
to be like. Most likely posix.6 privs would be lost by the current
suite of backup/restore tools (except raw device copies -- I'm
thinking tar/cpio/etc.). Most certainly you wil need at least one
additional executable on your audit tools disk.
