7 Please explain, sure there is the environment that tells a daemon what
8 to do. No shell can tell a c daemon like sshd how to drop priviledges
9 or use systrace but it could do these things for it in a more fine
10 grained manner before it tries and fails itself or if the daemon
11 wishes it to like monit. It's still not telling how but duplicating or
12 removing the need. That's just a bonus that applies to all init
13 systems because shell is so powerful on unix.
