Subject: [RFC v2][PATCH 2/9] Remove CAP_SYS_ADMIN for checkpoint/restart
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:25:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080820192559.32C52EA3@nimitz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080820192557.98788FAB@nimitz>
We need to do this so that we think about the security concerns
as we add each and every bit of c/r functionality. There's
nothing that we need privileges for, yet. Let's keep it that
way as long as possible.
