Daniel Bernstein has observed [1] that security-conscious userland processes
may benefit from the ability to irrevocably remove their ability to create,
bind, connect to, or send messages except in the case of previously connected
sockets or AF_UNIX filesystem sockets. We provide this facility by implementing
support for a new prctl(PR_SET_NETWORK) flag named PR_NETWORK_OFF.

This facility is particularly attractive to security platforms like OLPC
Bitfrost [2] and to isolation programs like Rainbow [3] and Plash [4].

What would stop them from ptracing someone else running under the same
uid who still has the network access? If you ptrace you can do
arbitary system calls.

Sorry that I didn't follow the original disscusion.
Any reason why you introdce a new source file?
Why not just adding them to kernel/sys.c?

Modifying kernel/sys.c would be fine too, I think. I'll incorporate this
suggestion into the next revision of the prctl()-based patches.

Thanks!

Where is Documentation/prctl_network.txt ?
and it should probably be Documentation/prctl/network.txt .

gag, I see it.  Sorry about that.
I think that the file name still needs to be changed.
