Subject: Are iptables or ipset file capabilities aware?
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:04:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EEB25A0.1090706@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm trying to devise a scheme where I need to give an unpriviliged user the ability
to add ip addresses to a blocklist used by iptables. Sudo is not an option in
this case.

I have understood that I should be able to do this with the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability but so far during my testing with ipset 4.5 I have not been successful.

Could anyone please tell me if these utilities are in fact capabilities aware and
if not, if there are any plans to implement it?

Cheers,
/Mikael
