[ oops, ommitted the CC line to freebsd-security@ ]

May I throw in my two euros?

security.noexec.log_bin: /sbin/trusted_logging_prog
security.noexec.log_maxrate: N
security.noexec.log_enabled: 0

security.noexec.log_enabled refuses to enable itself unless
security.noexec.log_bin exists and has the correct permissions, etc.

security.noexec.log_maxrate is the maximum allowed number of logs
per second. If this rate is exceeded, wait for a preset grace period
and then if logs are still pouring in, stop accepting logs and
periodically write a loud WARNING line to the log (this would be
watched by something like logcheck to alert the administrator).
This would prevent the flood of logging taking out the machine and
the grace period should allow enough logging to make sure we know
who the culprit was.

Of course, this is all theoretical. There's most likely a glaring
error or omission...

PS: could this be implemented with the MAC framework somehow? Isn't
this sort of thing exactly what it was meant for?
