Certainly. An ISP looking to record the actions of their users, for
instance, might be *very* interested in this, if implemented in a
secure manner. Where do the database files end up? How are they
written in a manner that the user cannot access them, even though the
log entries are coming from him?
> Who I have to ask for if my program is interesting?
I would be interested in looking at your changes. Can you make a set
of context diffs so I can patch a source tree?
We should probably take the rest of this discussion over to the
security mail list; I've directed replies there. If you don't
subscribe to that list already, you should. It is a relatively
low-volume list, with not much chattering.
