Papillon
Papillon is a security module designed for the Solaris Operating Environment. It provides security mechanisms and protections that improve the overall security of the system by adding new functionality to the kernel such as a restricted proc, chroot environment protections, secure STDIO file descriptors, restricted symlinks in /tmp, setuid protections, and more. In the current version Papillon supports Solaris (8, 9, and 10) and OpenSolaris running on x86 and SPARC architectures in 32- or 64-bit mode.

Feedback...
Actually this is not a "real" comment, but who cares.
I am really interested in feedback regarding Papillon. As you can
imagine, I can't afford a farm of different Sun boxes to test
this module, actually I can't even afford one multi-processor
Sun box. I am justing testing the code on my Ultra 10, a
a lonely Intel system and some poor Sparc Classics.
So... If you have made any experiences with Papillon, positive
or negative, let me know.
