Nearly all applications/daemons which use PAM for authentication contain a
|
|
configuration line: <I>@include common-auth</I>. Thus, to set inheritable capabilities
|
|
in <B>all</B> of these applications, add the following as the last line to
|
|
/etc/pam.d/common-auth
|
|

|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
To set inheritable capabilities for a user in a <B>specific</B> application,
|
|
or in application(s) which do not @include common-auth,
|
|
add the line below to the application-specific file; e.g. /etc/pam.d/myapp
|
