Dr. Strangelove, or How I learned to love the MAC subsystem.
Hi,
Could you point to, or write, some tutorial-like documentation on how
you use the MAC for this particular purpose?
I tried reading the mac* man pages in several instances before but can't
seem to connect the theory described in there with how to apply it in a
practical way.

OOHHHHH, we have a toothless root. Maybe a "riit"?
Pity these serious security mechanisms don't get a widespread usage.
