[Bug 24356] New: Pokerstars, other network games need setcap under kernel 2.6.35, ubuntu

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24356

Summary: Pokerstars, other network games need setcap under
                    kernel 2.6.35, ubuntu
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Under the new Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, kernel 2.6.35 there's some new security
infrastructure which prevents PokerStars and some other network games from
doing their networking.

This game worked fine under kernel 2.6.32

There is a work around:

sudo setcap all=eip /usr/bin/wine-preloader
sudo setcap all=eip /usr/bin/wineserver

But it would be better to know which capabilities wine needs, rather than give
it "all". The problem is I don't know much about this capability-based security
system. It's probably something to do with networking since the program starts
up okay, it just fails to connect. Once identified, the wine ubuntu install
should be fixed so it is set up with these capabilities. I will also post this
but on launchpad.

It looks like this bug is fixed in the wine PPA (maverick) so, uh, nevermind.

Probably nothing was fixed in wine, thus marking invalid. If you have
particular commit, which fix this problem, you can post it here and let this
bug close as fixed.

Anyway thanks for re-test, Michael.

Damnit. My bad. This bug is still there under the Maverick PPA. I was fooled
because wineserver was still running with the good capabilities while I
upgraded the software ...

I'm pretty sure though that you only need to do:

sudo setcap =eip /usr/bin/wineserver

And that wine-preloader doesn't need it.b

Hmmm... I'm still not sure, if this is a wine bug. If this is not a wine bug,
then it can't be solved here, right?

I'm not sure either. If "setcap" is required during install under the new
kernel then that might fall under the Ubuntu package team. I've contacted them
to find out.

I find this whole capabilities-based security thing confusing and it's probably
affecting a lot of packages under the new kernel until we can figure out who is
responsible for what. Maverick is already in Beta so hopefully this will happen
soon.

I think, what the wine people could do here, is figure out which capabilities
are required and communicate those to the Ubuntu package people.

I think you should file this report to Ubuntu as it is only a packaging
consideration, rather than file it here and hope someone else will.

Resolving invalid.
