Confine services in a limited environment

Compartment was designed to allow safe execution of privileged and/or untrusted executables and services. It can execute a process:

 - Setting specific Linux capabilities
 - Chrooting it to a certain location
 - setting the user or group it will run with
 - running a program before it is executed

These features can be used to minimize the risk of a trojanized or vulnerable program/service.
