Message-ID: <1403777965.9016.9.camel@A1-Robi> (raw)

Hi,

A while ago, only root was able to access the can interfaces, except if
the CONFIG_CAN_RAW_USER or CONFIG_CAN_BCM_USER was defined.

I would need a similar behavior: only some selected users or groups
should access the can interfaces, and nobody else. Is it possible to do
that somehow with the current kernel? Or should I modify it?

(E.g. it would be perfect, if I could use it like in case of IP sockets:
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -m owner --uid-owner 0 -j ACCEPT
and DROP others, or something like this.)

Thanks!
