If we heave the LSM stuff overboard, there's one thing that *will* need addressing - what to do with kernel support of Posix-y capabilities. Currently some of the heavy lifting is done by security/commoncap.c.
Frankly, that's *another* thing that we need to either *fix* so it works right, or rip out of the kernel entirely. As far as I know, there's no in-tree way to make /usr/bin/ping be set-CAP_NET_RAW and have it DTRT. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
