Hi all, in the documentation ot the compartment script (of SUSE 7.3), I found a note that under kernel 2.4, it would be possible to use capabilities together with a non-root user, which was impossible for kernels 2.2.x. I tried to get it to work (in my case, BIND8 using the init_bind8 script from the compartment-documentation). I modified the script so that a minimal /etc/passwd and /etc/group was put into the chroot-dir,and "chowned" /var/named to the new user. Finally, I changed the call to compartment, added '--user newuser' and changed '--group newgroup'. But wouldn't start :-( So my question: Is it in principle possible to use different users (non-root) together with capabilities? If yes, I will try a bit more..... Or maybe if anybody sees something obvious missing in my procedure, please tell me. Thanks!!!!
