Modifying running kernels isn't all that hard.

Doesnt 'how hard it is' depend on the modifications you're making?

On a typical BSD kernel finding suser() and altering the logic at that one
critical point is not hard. I've not tried sys5.4 and some BSD variants seem
to have it inlined now so its a bitch to do.
