Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Matt Kern (gj0aqzda) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: POSIX capabilities support Initial Comment: Attached is a patch which adds POSIX capabilities support. The following API functions are supported: * cap_clear * cap_copy_ext * cap_dup * cap_from_text * cap_get_flag * cap_get_proc * cap_init * cap_set_flag * cap_set_proc * cap_size * cap_to_text The following API function is supported, but is broken with certain versions of libcap (I am running debian testing's libcap1, version 1.10-14, which has an issue; I have reported this upstream): * cap_copy_int The following API functions are in there as stubs, but currently are not compiled. I need access to a machine to test these. I will probably add autoconf tests for availability of these functions in due course: * cap_get_fd * cap_get_file * cap_set_fd * cap_set_file The patch includes diffs to configure. My autoconf is however at a different revision to that used on the python trunk. You may want to re-autoconf configure.in. I've added a few API tests to test_posix.py. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.
