Hi,
Medusa is a package, which improves overall security of unix OS by extending standard unix security architecture, but preserving backward compatibility. Briefly, it's a support of user-space authorization server on the kernel level, thus fully transparent to any user space applications, plus authorization server itself. Before execution of the certain operations, the kernel asks the authorization server for the confirmation. Authorization server then permits, forbids or changes the operation. This method allows to implement almost any security architecture. When the authorization server is properly configured, it can very verbosely determine access rights within system (this solves also the old problem of uid 0 with unlimited privileges) and it also can do very good auditing.
