ToS is supported when running non-root on Linux by using kernel capabilities. On Ubuntu, the libcap-dev package is required for this. It provides libcap.{a,so} and sys/capability.h, which the Asterisk configure script will check for before you compile. You can check to see whether your binary is linked against libcap using the ldd command: $ ldd /usr/sbin/asterisk linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7fd9000) libcap.so.1 => /lib/libcap.so.1 (0xb7fd5000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7fc2000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7f81000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7f5f000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7f4c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7e1d000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fe5000) -James _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
