Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com> Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 20:28:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] file capabilities: simplify signal check Simplify the uid equivalence check in cap_task_kill(). Anyone can kill a process owned by the same uid. Without this patch wireshark is reported to fail. Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew G.
