Now I suppose what we could do is define a new CAP_SYS_RESTART capability and require that. Then the admin to whom I'm trying to cater could simply 'capset cap_sys_restart=pe /bin/restart'. Then all users could use restart without being granted the extra privilege implied by CAP_SYS_ADMIN. -serge _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
