Serge,

This feature makes me being interested in.
I think you intend to apply this feature for the primary process
of security container.
However, it is also worthwhile to apply when a session is starting up.

The following PAM module enables to drop capability bounding bit
specified by the fifth field in /etc/passwd entry.
This code is just an example now, but considerable feature.

build and install:
# gcc -Wall -c pam_cap_drop.c
# gcc -Wall -shared -Xlinker -x -o pam_cap_drop.so pam_cap_drop.o -lpam
# cp pam_cap_drop.so /lib/security

modify /etc/passwd as follows:

tak:x:1004:100:cap_drop=cap_net_raw,cap_chown:/home/tak:/bin/bash
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
example:
[kaigai@...u ~]$ ping 192.168.1.1
