I'm curious whether systrace might be modified to detect and use a utrace backend in the future. (This would allow the user-space systrace suite to be dropped into future Red Hat distributions without requiring any kernel changes). (Of course I'm also curious if Ubuntu will be adding utrace to their future releases). JimD (talk) 15:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect the systrace mailing list and the Ubuntu forum would be a much better place to find these out than here. NicM (talk) 05:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Systrace already comes with a ptrace backend; extending it to utrace should be simple. The main issue with ptrace is that it was never meant for security, in particular, reparenting of forked children does not work very well. niels (talk) 18:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
