Andy following on the idea of per user settings, I'm curious did you
manage to make some advance on how to store the user settings ? the
user database format is old and not extensible, there was cgmanager or
other libcgroup but for resources, and no simple thing for such
restrictions example: "RestrictLinuxModules=user" that will prevent
such users from making/loading extra Linux features/modules that are
not already available...
Thanks!
