asterisk users - Aug 2009 - CAP_FOWNER=ep for asterisk

Hello,

I need CAP_FOWNER=ep for the asterisk process, i set it with setcap on  
the file /usr/sbin/asterisk, it's there when i look on it with getcap,  
but after starting and loocking with getpcaps there's only  
cap_net_admin+ep set.

So how exactly do I set CAP_FOWNER? Do I have to patch and recompile  
or is there another solution I did not see yet?

thanks,
best

You'd need to patch and recompile.  I really don't think this is really
all
that safe of a modification.  Is there another way (such as through groups)
that you can do what you want here?
