RE: [Ltib] setcap/libcap2?

[Morrison, Tom]

here is what the man page says:
   http://man-wiki.net/index.php/8:setcap
 
Essentially, I am trying to run a webserver as 'non-root' 
(and bind 'priviledged ports to this 'non-root' process)...

We have tried some of the other methods, and they aren't
working for this webserver (tomcat) application

Hi Tom,

I've not come across that executable.  The closest thing I can find is
'setpcaps' in libcap-bin (Debian), but I'm not sure if this is the one
you mean.  What you need to do is to locate the package containing the
executable you want and then add that package to LTIB.

Regards, Stuart
