Richard:

A couple of things about secure kernel I do know (well, I'm pretty
sure). . .

1) `ps -ax' will only show the current user's processes (as opposed to
other users'), and I think some things in /proc are off limits to lowly
regular users.

2) Programs with gid set won't work right.  That is, you can't have
programs temporarily make users part of a group to which they don't
ordinarily belong.

I'm a Linux novice, so there's probably a better way to explain the
above. . .

An interesting thing about your post:  When I tried replying to it
directly, Netscape would puke without apology.  You may want to try
telling your e-mail program to compose in plain text as opposed to
HTML.  I may want to try a different mail reader. . .
