For now it duplicates the same simple access check as in kernel: system attributes are restricted to root. This is just a helper function, it is not exported. I immagine it could move to kernel when we introduce more namespaces with different acces semantics. But we are not there yet. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus m...@netbsd.org
