You may have the common issue that uid 0 tends to regain capabilities on exec due to "legacy" capability emulation. Try playing with securebits and/or the bounding set. (The setpriv command in very new util-linux-ng makes this easy to play with.) Note that you almost certainly want to set no_new_privs if anything other than uid 0 is running with non-default securebits. --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
