Only trusted people should be able to write to trusted bin dirs. People
shouldn't have ./ or other unrested directories in their path unless they

How about an extension to ext2 to allow GPG sigs on files, and a kernel
module that only allows files to be executed if they are signed by a
trusted key. :)
