capabilities impletementation?

[Dingo]

Well per a previous conversation! Not sure how related it is to CAP but
as stated below pertaining to SeBSD as a whole. Im trying to pitch in to
bring the SeBSD to a more current 6.0 version. If you want to pitch in
someplace I think the help would be appreciated.

I'm in the process of updating the TrustedBSD base branch to a recent
7.x, and hope to finish that in the next few days.  I have plans to then
merge those changes towards the MAC branch, although that will take some
time to merge due to some conflicting changes between the base FreeBSD
tree and MAC branch.  Once those prerequisites are in place, it should
be possible to begin work on updating SEBSD to a post 6.0-RELEASE state.
One of the conflicts introduced in earlier work was that FreeBSD has
made further moves towards using nmount(), which generated conflicts
with the introduction of a labeled mount system call in the SEBSD
branch.  With the movement towards nmount(), a special system call for a
labeled mount is no longer required, as the label can simply become an
additional nmount() argument.  However, some further tweaking and
merging of that conversion is required.  In short: currently, no ETA,
but hopefully in the next month or so.

More hands are certainly welcome :-).  The code in the SEBSD branch
right now needs to have its update to a slightly older 6.x finished as a
first step, which basically involves fixing up any continuing disruption
from the nmount change.
