"You've already had those suggestions some days ago. Use a security 
module, either by using something like SELinux (where you can do this 
just fine as far as I can see including exceptions by label for problem 
apps)", [Alan Cox, 2010-06-08], or integrate it into an already existing 
solution eg. grsecurity (www.grsecurity.net).
