Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v1] Drop capabilities if not running ip exec vrf with libcap
ip vrf exec requires root or CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN and
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE. It is not possible to run unprivileged commands like
ping as non-root or non-cap-enabled due to this requirement.
To allow users and administrators to safely add the required
capabilities to the binary, drop all capabilities on start if not
invoked with "vrf exec".
Update the manpage with the requirements.
Signed-off-by: Luca Boccassi <bluca@...ian.org>

Changes since RFC: moved drop_cap to lib/util.c to call it from
ipvrf.c after vrf_switch, which is the function that requires the
additional permissions, has finished.
