While there are almost certainly bugs in that area, POSIX security is
pretty much implemented at kernel level. However, since a) you usually
run as root, and b) the user-level services, as well as ports are
completely insecure, you don't really gain a lot from that :-)
Real security won't happen for R1, also simply because there will be
lots of API changes involved to make this not a pain to use.
