New init system hitting a distro near you.

This has interesting ramifications for SELinux.  I have a working 
version of this in Fedora 14, but we need to add rules like

allow sshd_t init_t:tcp_socket { getopt ioctl getattr setopt };

Since systemd will be doing the listening and passing the socket to sshd.

Could we have risks of sshd_t grabbing the tcp_socket connected to 
httpd_t?

In this scenario we are no longer protecting against the name_bind, and 
are forced to put more trust into init_t.
