title: Is it possible to configure Linux capabilities per user?
body: <p>There appears to be support for <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/7/capabilities" rel="noreferrer">fine-grained capabilities</a> in Linux kernel, which allows granting privileges to a process to do things like, for example, opening raw sockets or raising thread priority without granting the process root privileges.</p>
  
  <p>However what I'd like to know if there is a way to grant <em>per-user</em> capabilities. That is, allow non-root and non-suid processes to acquire those capabilities.</p>
