Hi,

I need an apparently exotic configuration and I don't know how to
approach the problem. Here are the requirements:

- [email protected] (systemd --user)
  + runs with Priv SMACK label (SmackProcessLabel in [email protected])
  + has cap_mac_admin (and a few other capabilities) to assign SMACK
    labels to its children (AmbientCapabilities in [email protected])

- children (session services) run with Reg SMACK label (I added
  support for DefaultSmackProcessLabel to user.conf, to avoid
  modifications of all unit files)

- children DO NOT inherit capabilites from systemd --user (they do now)

This last is a problem because I'd like to avoid modifications of all
service files. I tried to drop inheritable caps before execve() (in
exec_child()) but as described in capabilities(7) this results in
dropping caps from the ambient set too, which means systemd --user
doens't get what it needs.

Is there anything I am missing? Is there any way to start a service with
UID!=0, some capabilities set but not implicitly inheritable by
processes spawned by the service?

Kind regards,
