cool, I wasn't aware of this. never ever seen a patch for the cap devices. does anyone have link ? My decision for the *uid files (instead of cap devices) was because: a) more flexibilty (not only limited to factotum stuff) b) the kernel doesn't know of usernames. So, IMHO, the cap handling should be done in userland. 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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
