Re: [asterisk-users] What version to upgrade to...?
Asterisk uses libcap to do root-like things when running as non-root. Setting the DSCP/QoS value of packets requires root access, but Asterisk seems to manage just fine using libcap (not libpcap, that is different). -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Latham Sent: Monday, December 12, 2011 10:39 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] What version to upgrade to...?

This is accurate. Non-root users cannot bind ports =1024. There are ways around it, however. See setcap/CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man7/capabilities.7.html I haven't looked at the Asterisk code, but there may be changes necessary to disable that check, if this is enabled. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
