One approach to implementing multiple facilities on the same host system with incompatible security requirements each requiring fine-grained control possibly by different administrators is to implement otherwise incompatible facilities using virtual machines (e.g. user-mode Linux). As this approach becomes more widespread, will the need to make the host kernel be all things to all users (from a security perspective) at the same time decrease ?
