"JAIL" code headed for -current.

1999-01-27 Thread Poul-Henning Kamp
I'm polishing up the "JAIL" code I wrote and readying it for -current. This code provides an optional strenthening of the chroot() jail as we know it, and will provide safe sandboxes for most practical uses. The biggest impact of this is a new argument to the suser() call all over the kernel:
