From d040e5af380554c23ffe0a034ae5f3e53da93a1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 09:18:04 -0400 Subject: audit: audit feature to only allow unsetting the loginuid This is a new audit feature which only grants processes with CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL the ability to unset their loginuid. They cannot directly set it from a valid uid to another valid uid. The ability to unset the loginuid is nice because a priviledged task, like that of container creation, can unset the loginuid and then priv is not needed inside the container when a login daemon needs to set the loginuid.
