Subject: Re: patch to make Linux capabilities into something useful (v 0.3.1)
Hi,
The fact that you're changing the inheritance rules is a bit scary, so
I'm going to (and I hope others will) take some time to look it over.
In the meantime, so long as you're adding some new capabilities, how
about also splitting up a few like CAP_SYS_ADMIN? Have you looked into
it and decided none are really separable, i.e. any subset leads to the
ability to get any other subset?
I'd recommend you split this patch into at least 3:
1. move to 64-bit caps
2. introduce your new caps
(perhaps even one new cap per patch)
3. introduce the new inheritance rules
thanks,
-serge
