I don't know where you'd want that documentation file, but for contents I think it should just read: ==== For more information on securebits, see the capabilities.7 manpage, specifically the section entitled The "securebits" flags: establishing a capabilities-only environment To run these tests there are no kernel configuration requirements, but your kernel must be at least Linux 2.6.32-rc7, and you must have a /usr/include/linux/securebits.h which defines SECBIT_NOROOT. You also need the libcap v2 development libraries installed. ==== thanks, -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the two and get a better understanding. http://p.sf.net/sfu/hp-phase2-d2d _______________________________________________ Ltp-list mailing list Ltp-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltp-list
