Have you considered using the device cgroup to address this issue? If so, what happened there - did it not work? That would seem to be able to address this (maybe?) and could be done with use of the existing /bin tools (mkdir/echo).

Are you advocating moving all of: libacl.so, libattr.so, chacl, getfacl, setfacl, attr, getfattr, and setfattr? > Moreover, with the increased use of ACLs, I think it would be > consistent to move the utilities to /bin alongside chown/chmod. I'm not sure what the rules are for putting additional binaries and shared libraries out of usr into the root are - can you point me to them? Is "increased use" really a valid reason? I had a look in Debian Policy and couldn't find the section covering this stuff. cheers. -- Nathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
