I personnaly use this simple patch which allows me
to keep caps over execve(). It allows me to give a
few more rights to some trusted users, such as
kill, insmod... without risking unlink, chown or
so. I couldn't find any other way to achieve this.
If needed, I can send you the complete prog which
sets the requested capabilities upon login,
eventually asking for a password and limited in
time of day.
Regards,
Willy
