Hi there,

I was speaking to someone at OpenCON about the fundamental systrace
flaw regarding processes forking in order to bypass the checks. The
general impression I was given was that systrace is to be removed at
some point.

If this is the case, will there be a similar tool available?

I ask because I find USE_SYSTRACE (/etc/mk.conf)  essential for the
TeXLive port. It writes all over the place during the build.

Thanks
