You can drop root privileges with process.setuid(), process.setgid() and process.initgroups(), which pretty much map 1-to-1 to the POSIX functions of the same name. There is nothing in node.js core that lets you manipulate Linux capabilities like capset() or prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP) do - nor will there be, it's too platform-specific - but it's trivial to write a small C++ add-on for it. There may be one (or several) already available through npm. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
