Hi everyone,

I'd like to make use of some of the systemd hardening features [0] in
the Debian rsyslog package.
I eventually want those changes to go upstream though, so I'm asking
for feedback here.
This is what I currently have in mind:


[Service]
ProtectSystem=full
ProtectHome=yes
PrivateTmp=yes
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_SYSLOG CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE

What potentially could cause problems is the limitation of the
capabilties via CapabilityBoundingSet [1].
Does anyone know, what capabilities [2] rsyslog needs beyond
CAP_SYSLOG and CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE if you want to make use of all its
features?

Are other distros interested in shipping such a more restrictive configuration?

Regards,
Michael
