The intermediate security manager that I was referring to is for modules, which may need to have additional restrictions. To the OS, the modules and the core are all one big application. Thus, it's Minion's responsibility to act like a mini-OS and allocate permissions accordingly. Fortunately, Java offers a very powerful way to implement this functionality (and leverages it against applets).
