Yep, and please define a set of 'default capabilities' per user as well :-)
Plus the 'process rights identifiers' come to mind to regulate per-object
access. VMS was quite powerful in that respect, but a little too complex
for everyday use. Learn from it but try to keep it simpler.

VMS priorities and nice levels don't really compare. Changing the priority
from
4 to 3 would drop you from 90% to 1% CPU time IIRC. Please don't do _that_
for Linux :-)
