I've just wrote a patch to Linux kernel which allows changing another process' privileges (uid, etc). The /dev/caphash and /dev/capuse devices (IMHO) can be simulated from userspace. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
