If the filesystem flags (immutable etc) is pulled along far enough into the kernel, it might be possible to do this by adding a separate flag indicating that the executable in question is allowed to do hardware access. It would of course need to be unchangable on securelevel > 0, and require the immutable flag for the executable. Also, it is quite a hack, and I don't think I'd consider the ugliness worthwhile. However, if this _really_ is a priority, it might be an option. Eivind.
