Some implement role based access control or other access control paradigms as well. I just don't think sandbox is a good term, but I see where you're coming from.

I agree initial setup can be cumbersome, but I think it's worthwhile. I'm a fan of RSBAC personally, it's as powerful as SELinux but a lot simpler. If people run in permissive mode and test properly, not just run it and do a few things, but test every function exhaustively before setting up permissions, it should be good.

Really, it only has to be done once, and I think it's a worthwhile investment given the security gained.

That's what I was saying higher up in the thread though. OpenBSD is known for having good, simple implementations of complex stuff like this, so if they ever were itnerested in implementing a version, it would probably be amazing.
