Currently it controls access to inet_bind() with ports < 1024 and raw sockets only. With this patch, there's no need anymore to run internet daemons as root. You can individually configure which user/program can bind to ports below 1024. Changes: - diff against linux 2.5.3 The patch is available at: Regards, Olaf. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
