Subject: Privilege Elevation?

hi all

I just saw this article @/.
(http://bsd.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/17/2347226&mode=nested&tid=122)
"OpenBSD Gains Privilege Elevation".

Are similar security systems planned for linux?

Computers are like air conditioners.

Actual documentation would be nice to review.
The systrace(4) manpage is not very forthcoming on details.
Any other documents available ?
