Public bug reported: If I grant a user (via pam_cap) cap_setfcap+i, I would then expect them to be able to use setcap without sudo. setcap is not provided with any default file capabilities however, so either the user has to sudo, or I have to grant the setfcap capability to setcap with setcap.
In my mind, it would be reasonable to grant setfcap+i to setcap by default on installation. ** Affects: libcap2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700814 Title: Default capability of cap_setfcap+i should be set on setcap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcap2/+bug/1700814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
