Basically, bind() needs to check the caller's groups and if you are one of several allowable groups, let it pass, otherwise, error out. Now, I glanced over the bind() code and it does not look that difficult. The problem is how do we keep up with -STABLE afterwards? Using CVSup, out changes will get clobbered every time. Is there a facility where you can keep up with the source but let local modifications through?
