| jMCg | Hi folks. | 23:31 |
| jMCg | Wikipedia lists upstarts along with Solaris' SMF, so I was browsing through the feature list and the Wiki, and the bug tracker, but I couldn't find one core feature that SMF has, which I, so far, have failed to find on Linux: | 23:33 |
| jMCg | SMF can start a service as a certain user/group giving it a certain set of privileges. | 23:33 |
| jMCg | On Linux this would translate to Capabilities, which is Linux' POSIX 1003.1e implementation of that same concept. | 23:34 |
| ion | Do you have a question? :-) | 23:35 |
| jMCg | Yes! | 23:35 |
| jMCg | Is anybody thinking about, or even actively planning to add such a feature to upstart? | 23:36 |
| ion | You should ask Keybuk about that when he’s around. | 23:37 |
| jMCg | On Solaris I can start a (shitty) Java Application Server as unprivileged user, and have it bind to port 80, which is seriously awesome. It would be even awesomer if I could do that on Linux. | 23:37 |
| jMCg | ion: which timezone does he live in? | 23:38 |
| ion | If that has not been planned for Upstart, you might very well be able to sell that idea. I would like such functionality for sure, but i’m not the authority on Upstart. :-) | 23:39 |
| ion | He’s British. | 23:39 |
| jMCg | https://launchpad.net/~upstart-devel < the only brit I see is scott. | 23:41 |
| jMCg | Anyways. Thank you for your time. | 23:42 |
| jMCg | I think I should devote mine now to sleep. | 23:42 |
| ion | If you do a /whois on Keybuk you’ll notice he’s Scott. :-P | 23:45 |
