Alien technology sighted in Leopard

Leopard sandboxes are flexible and interesting. They’re apparently compiled from Scheme programs (sandbox-compilerd embeds TinyScheme) that live in /usr/share/sandbox. You can break sandbox-compilerd open in TextEdit and read the compiled-in Scheme code; they’ve got a lot of the bases covered, including obscure stuff like SYSV IPC, the BSD sysctl interface, and signals.
