Subject: why are capabilities disabled?
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 16:29:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c0iqrq$erh$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
"getpcaps 1" shows, that the init-process is started without
cap_setpcap, and i know that i can change that somehow.
So why are capabilities disabled? and how do i enable them?
If capabilities aren't still too unmature, wouldn't it be fine to have
an option in "make menuconfig" to enable them?
My intention is to a allow a process to bind a port <1024.
The process can't be started as root.
Thx
Sven
