Ian Jackson's uservuserv is a security boundary management daemon. It manages very carefully who is allowed to do what to what else. It differs from such things as sudo in that it is rather like a network service - the client asks the server to execute a request for it, and ties some or all of the file handles to the client. It is also possible to make sure that a malicious environment at the client end can't do anything nasty at the server end, as the service will inherit its environment from the daemon.
