No it's not. It simply lets bootes have access to -his- local resources so
that he could do things like dump a message to all logged in users.

When the original pointers are setup to the resources, a link is made into
bootes namespace. It could even be one way, bootes to the device, it
wouldn't necessary for bootes to read the device. The same for sound and
other such.

So, no, it's not the same at all.
