First take at security model abstraction. - Add a few scopes to the kernel: system, network, and machdep. - Add a few more actions/sub-actions (requests), and start using them as opposed to the KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER place-holders. - Introduce a basic set of listeners that implement our "traditional" security model, called "bsd44". This is the default (and only) model we have at the moment. - Update all relevant documentation. - Add some code and docs to help folks who want to actually use this stuff: * There's a sample overlay model, sitting on-top of "bsd44", for fast experimenting with tweaking just a subset of an existing model. This is pretty cool because it's *really* straightforward to do stuff you had to use ugly hacks for until now... * And of course, documentation describing how to do the above for quick reference, including code samples. All of these changes were tested for regressions using a Python-based testsuite that will be (I hope) available soon via pkgsrc. Information about the tests, and how to write new ones, can be found on: http://kauth.linbsd.org/kauthwiki NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: *PLEASE* don't add any code that does any of the following: - Uses a KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER kauth(9) request, - Checks 'securelevel' directly, - Checks a uid/gid directly. (or if you feel you have to, contact me first) This is still work in progress; It's far from being done, but now it'll be a lot easier.

Full credit for the regression tests, making sure these changes didn't break anything, goes to Matt Fleming and Jaime Fournier. Happy birthday Randi! :)
