nfqueue library setup requires root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I launched my application with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, yet both nfq_unbind_pf and nfq_bind_pf produce an error.
When I setuid(0) no error is produced and everything works as expected.
Could you please confirm that Library setup operations require root.
Isn't it a bit misleading that libnetfilter_queue docu states that CAP_NET_ADMIN is required without mentioning root permissions.
Would it be possible to do Library Setup with only CAP_NET_ADMIN and without root priviliges in future versions?
