Hi,

Is the ACL system any usefull for daemons that are ALL chainrooted?

That is, all the the publicaly accessible daemons are chrooted (apache, apache-ssl, postfix, and nsd [name server] ). The ACL system requires that root is essentially crippled which is no good for cron jobs (logrotate, etc..)

ALL of the chroot restrictions are on and daemons running non-root. Is there really any advantage running the ACL system?

PS. Local users are 100% trusted

Well, if local users are 100% trusted you don't really need ACL i guess. Just make sure to keep software running as root up to date, so nobody will gain shell on your box
