similar concept to my subu scripts

With the subu scripts, any user can become an administrator to subservient users. Then the user can sit over the top and transfer files between the subservient users, etc. basically be an administrator to them. I ran into ego today because the subservient users share the desk top with the master user.

At some point I imagine setting it up with virtual desktops and gnome tool bars. Right now in my typical mode of use I just run a shell as subu user, typically on its own virtual desktop, then do everything from the command line in the name of the user.

The original 'container' is the user. The user model is baked into the hardware. All virtual pages of user ids. All processes are owned by users and the uid is in a processor register when the process runs, that way assuring the user only gets the correct virtual pages etc. Only supervisor mode code is supposed to be able to change the system, users are supposed to be safe from each other.

If there is something broken with the user model, I would rather fix that instead of adding another virtual layer.

So glad to see this code today. If anyone would like to discuss subu please let me know. We could get on a video call I could share screen shots using it, and discussion the vision of it. If you agree on vision maybe we could fold that in here or something. I have used subu for a long time, just to figure out if it would work out, but you guys look to be further along.
