That would mean you think RSBAC is _only_ meant to protect from bugs.
Instead is is (RSB) "Access Control" with a granularity and flexibility
that pure Unix can not provide.
Espacially the non-standard AC-modules allow you to use Linux in a secure
matter.
Please let me counter:
What is security? What is safety? What do you want to protect? Your system
or your knowhow/information?
