It seems that the more research I do, the more options I am stuck with while
trying to make a decision.

I am really interested in different ways to enforce what services users can
use,without relying on groups to do so.

It seems that maybe the best way for me to do this is to build ACL support
into the kernel.

I have come accross these 3 websites, and torn between which one to
implement.

Has anyone used any of the following patches, and if so would you care to
share your experiences with us?

thanx
