well, either grsec is blocking you here, or you are
doing something wrong, here is a test for 2.0.x and
2.1.x to verify that feature:
2.0.x:
NOCAPS="vcmd -i -1 -BC set_ccaps_v0 bcaps=0 --"
ENDINI="vcmd -i -1 -BC set_cflags .mask=^32 --"
vcmd -i 42 -BC ctx_create .flagword=^34^32^8 -- $NOCAPS $ENDINI renice -10 $$
renice: 20: setpriority: Permission denied
vcmd -i 42 -BC ctx_create .flagword=^52^34^32^8 -- $NOCAPS $ENDINI renice -10
$$
20: old priority 0, new priority 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as you can see, the priority raise was _simply_ ignored
and for 2.1.x you simply use:
NOCAPS="vcmd -i -1 -BC set_bcaps .bmask=~0 --"
instead of the above, with the same vcmd commands ...
vcmd is a hack tool, designed for testing the vserver API,
you can find it here:
