The process-oriented ACL seems functionality equivalent to grsec 
process-based ACLs.
One disadvantage of grsec + vserver is that ACLs are applied system-wide 
and must be administered on the mother server.  The same applies to 
iptables rules.
The advantage of Reiser's views model is that since they are defined on 
the file attributes they can be defined inside the scope of the children 
vservers so each vserver admin will be able to define his own ACLs just 
by defining ACL attributes on every file to be execcuted.
The VPS administrators using Reiser 4 will be able to define 
process-oriented ACLs as they wish whenever they wish while VPS 
administrators using grsec ACLs must rely on their host system 
administrator to apply the rules as they better understand.
