Hello, I'm (still) updating my documentation on http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
I just learned, that KaiGai has taken his userspace tools offline and Andrews tools are updated and are now the prefered one. But I have a problem ... I tried it with 2.6.24-rc5 and 2.6.24-rc6 and with libcap 2.00, 2.01, 20071203 (newest in git) on an 32 bit System setcap sets according to attr the capability attribute with 20 byte, whereby setfcaps sets a 12 byte value. getcap can read the value set by setfcaps but not by setcap. Executing a by setcap "capability enabled" binary gives an "Invalid argumet" error. What am I missing? Thanks Chris Commands executed on a shell: ----------------------------- When I try to set a capability: ------------------------------- $ sudo libcap-2.01/progs/setcap cap_net_raw=ep ping $ echo $? 0 I get: $ attr -l ping Attribute "capability" has a 20 byte value for ping $ libcap-2.01/progs/getcap ping Failed to get capabilities for file `ping' (Invalid argument) ./ping localhost bash: ./ping: Invalid argument But when I use KaiGai's tool: ----------------------------- $ sudo setfcaps -c cap_net_raw=p -e ping $ attr -l ping Attribute "capability" has a 12 byte value for ping $ libcap-2.01/progs/getcap ping $ ./ping localhost (works also) strace outputs: --------------- strace output without needed privileges --------------------------------------- $ ls -l libcap-2.01/progs/setcap -rwxr-xr-x 1 chris users 611672 Dec 23 14:02 libcap-2.01/progs/setcap $ $ strace libcap-2.01/progs/setcap cap_net_raw=ep ping execve("libcap-2.01/progs/setcap", ["libcap-2.01/progs/setcap", "cap_net_raw=ep", "ping"], [/* 55 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="apollo", ...}) = 0 brk(0) = 0x80ca000 brk(0x80cacb0) = 0x80cacb0 set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0x80ca830, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 brk(0x80ebcb0) = 0x80ebcb0 brk(0x80ec000) = 0x80ec000 capget(0x19980330, 0, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) capget(0x19980330, 0, {0, 0, 0}) = 0 capset(0x19980330, 0, {0x80000000 /* CAP_??? */, 0, 0}) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) dup(2) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f14000 _llseek(3, 0, 0xbff51724, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) write(3, "unable to set CAP_SETFCAP effect"..., 72unable to set CAP_SETFCAP effective capability: Operation not permitted ) = 72 close(3) = 0 munmap(0xb7f14000, 4096) = 0 brk(0x80eb000) = 0x80eb000 exit_group(1) = ?
