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
