i'm no expert on capabilites, but won't their addition null the need for sbin directories? i mean, you could have a uid that can bring up interfaces, but not halt the machine. or even, halt the machine but not alter partition tables. also, i don't know how comitted debian is to using capabilites. either way, 'insmod asbestos_underware'. -- jacob kuntz [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] underworld.net/~jake
