Hello,

This is probably not the best place to post this, but I couldn't think
of anywhere better. If you have the time to help me with a OS class
project please read on.

On my OS class (I'm a computer science major) we were divided in groups
of 3 people and each groups should come up with something to change on
the linux kernel and make those changes, or at least part of it if the
project is too big for one semester, by the end of the semester. I did
some research and I couldn't find something interesting to do. So I'm
here asking if anyone would have a good suggestion for me.

My intentions with the project is to get a better knowledge of how linux
works and to have something interesting working by the end of the class.
The project should be big enough to keep us busy the whole semester.

What I've come up with so far was trying to do some kind of protection
inheritance system, where I could make syscalls like disablenetwork,
disablesignals, disabledevaccess, and so on. Those would be inherited by
the children processes and they could not enable them back on, only
disable more things. But I'm not sure if it that interesting, also I'm
afraid that's going to be too easy to get done, and not something that's
supposed to take a whole period.

Thank you all for reading,
Rafael
