There is Debian based distribution being developed, which has RSBAC
and a lot of other security stuff. I have recently attended a
presentation of sorts from the leader of the project on RSBAC and the
way it handles "access control".

It would be cool to eventually have an Adamantix Thethereal package
for it making use of this one day. No X for the moment, because of
some shared library problems regarding Pax.

See http://www.adamantix.org/ for more information.
