I believe that only the owner target does userspace matching at this
point. It seems like an interesting idea like zonealarm, but I imagine
the actual rule implementation would make this difficult for the users
you'd be protecting. You'd be forced to setup a block-all with
whitelist. Since there are so many Linux apps that need direct network
access to function..
