Kerner Capabilities
 

Kernel Capabilities

I was wondering how to give some program a certain set of capabilities (POSIX)
I searched the man pages, and found two functions capget and capset
But I cannot find more documents of how to use them or so

I also noticed a command line "lcap" which takes parameters but it seems not to work on kernel 2.4.18 so I think i have to download some patch or so

Any help please ?

I beleive kernel capabilities are in developement, and might not actually be in the 2.4.x series.... I could be wrong, but I think you'll have to use a developement kernel.

You mean 2.5.X ??
Isn't there any patches I can download anyway to 2.4.x ?
