Hey All,

I'm working on applying Capsicum to Tor. I've got a PoC design for how
I'm going to do it posted here:

https://github.com/lattera/PoCs/tree/master/capsicum_fdpassing

Note that the above code might have ugly spots. It's mostly just a brain
dump.

Essentially, the child process creates the socket and passes the
socket's file descriptor back to the parent. The socket file descriptor
has the capabilities sets already applied to it before it goes back to
the parent. The socket creation and file descriptor passing seems to
work well.

However, what isn't working is calling connect(2) on the socket file
descriptor in the parent. errno gets set to ECAPMODE. This is puzzling
to me since CAP_CONNECT is set on the descriptor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
