I actually wrote a few pieces of a thing called "beancounter" which was
an idea to do this. I've not had time to do more than post the first
draft version of the code (which someone in Linux security duely broke
straight off). Im not sure if the person who picked up on it is working
further on it or not.
The model SCO use for a user is fairly simple. There are three uid values
involved - uid, euid, and luid. The luid is a login uid. It is set once and
cannot be changed.
The code I had was less restrictive than the SCO idea - you have an luid
which sets your current->beancounter. That is the beancounter to which all
your resources get charged. Each resource object you allocate also makes
a copy by reference counting of the bean counter so that it can free up
the resources on an object.
