Thanks for the refreshed v2 patches! I gave them a quick spin... As noted on IRC, apparently it lacks actual calls to setcap, so that part still needs another patch at least! Otherwise, it did seem to more-or-less work... There are compatibility symlinks from /run/setuid-programs to /run/privledged/bin and it sets setuid on requested files. I was a little curious about why /run/privlidged/bin as opposed to without /bin ... keeping the door open for other privlidged things? What about things that come from /gnu/store/*/sbin ? are those handled any differently? My only concern is... wow is it hard, even for a native speaker, to spell privileged! live well, vagrant
