--- Comment #3 from crest@rlwinm.de ---
Afaik only FreeBSD tracks the login class in the kernel via setloginclass(2=
).
Sadly the FreeBSD base system lacks a chain-loadable command that just calls
setloginclass(2) and execs into its remaining arguments.

Every command that's available to shell (or execline) scripts (e.g. su) doe=
sn't
exec(), but fork()+exec() which is a problem for reliable process supervisi=
on
without using operating system specific APIs (e.g. sub-reapers).

Do you want to have the inner nodes of the supervision tree (s6-svscan,
s6-supervise) modify their login class or only the run/finish/check/up/down
scripts? In the latter case adding the "missing chain-loader" as its own ti=
ny
should solve the problem and avoid the hassle of maintaining a FreeBSD spec=
ific
feature patch even if it's small.
