Re: [PATCH] capabilities: introduce per-process capability boundingset (v10)

Serge,

Is there any reason not to have a separate /etc/login.capbounds
config file, though, so the account can still have a full name?
Did you only use that for convenience of proof of concept, or
is there another reason?

passwd(5) says the fifth field is optional and only used for
informational purpose (like ulimit, umask).

However, using any other separate config file is conservative
and better. One candidate is "/etc/security/capability.conf"
defined as the config file of pam_cap.

Thanks,
