[Sugar-devel] Rainbow and P_NETWORK heads-up.

[Michael Stone]

Folks,

Bernie has been gently pushing me to revive some of my older security
work. To that end, we've pushed the first versions of rainbow-0.8.x into
Ubuntu [1] and Fedora [2], rebased the necessary sugar patches [3], and
rewritten my sys_disablenetwork() attempt into cool new RLIMIT_NETWORK
code [4].

Be warned -- this code is really, really raw, full of bugs, may eat
babies, etc. It's almost certainly going to change around a bit in the
foreseeable future. However, it's definitely worth glancing at, both for
review purposes, to help round off rough edges, and to get it closer to
shippability in all your favorite distros. Thanks in advance for your
interest, support, and assistance in making this real. :)

Regards,

Michael
