Checked with syslog, the patch seems to be workable. Nothing weird
happened...

Yeah, I was just surprised because this bug seems to be there for a while
and nobody reported it ;-). ( New rsbac users might not want to use
syslog-ng or mysql, old rsbac users use their old rsbac revision for a
while and don't want to change to a newer one?) 

Btw, 1.1.1 or 1.1.2pre seems to be very stable at me, after this small
bugfix for unix sockets I think it's stable enough to me to use it on
'real' servers too.

The biggest problem from now on is the documentation: Careful work with
the various models is needed to make a system really safe-> Just patching
the computer with rsbac doesn't help a lot..
