I've read enough to know that, ordinarily, a process cannot up its capabilities but can temporarily drop and then reestablish them (given they can do that). Is this understanding correct? How are capabilities initially set? Is it expected that an unprivileged process should contain and empty set of capabilities? If so, then how could *any* process do anything with their set of capabilities? I don't either, the man pages are long and deep, and offer teach me more than I am prepared prepared to learn at this time. man 7 capabilities, there might be something in LPG too. -- Neither the pheasant plucker, nor the pheasant plucker's son. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news@netfront.net ---
