For some users, like yourself, adding net_raw might be a step too far - then you are of course free not to enable it.
Something I better say. Before me wine project use to run wine as root. I am the one who brought capabilities as the path to-do this stuff are dealing with users who had nuked their complete Linux install with windows malware. Yes I am the one who wrote it into the FAQ not to run wine as root and provided the basic instructions to use capabilities. So I have over a decade of support knowledge of what effects your change is going to-do. I am not some new person complain for no reason with no experience to back position up here. When I introduced capabilities I was hoping it would at some point get fixed up properly. I am pick up less problems with people using capabilities than the past of using run as root but I am still see the problems of malware exploiting capabilities from time to time when users have enabled them. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
