syscalls: native or translated
by Tobias Wendorff
Hi there,
I just had a talk with some LXC nerds.
Their opinion is that unprivileged LXC is more secure than Docker and
similar solutions. These would translate the syscalls to userspace, to
not have a direct interface to the kernel. In LXC, the syscalls
themselves would have built-in namespace awareness in the kernel itself,
but without a translation layer.
How does this statement relate to the security of a container running in
rootless Podman in a normal user? Could the "translation layer"
introduce trouble?
Best regards,
Tobias

Nagios check_icmp error in rootless container
by Michael Ivanov
Hallo again!
I'm trying to run /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp in rootless container
and I get the following error:
check_icmp: Failed to obtain ICMP socket: Operation not permitted
check_icmp permissions are as following:
-rwsr-x--- 1 root nagios 75800 Apr 2 2021 /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp
I am running it as root (container's root of course)
ping localhost and /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H localhost
work without problems.
/bin/ping is *not* suid, but has caps cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+p set.
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp is setuid root and had no capabilities set.
Ok, I remived suid bit from it and set same caps as for ping:
-rwxr-x--- 1 root nagios 75800 Apr 2 2021 /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+p
When I run it I still get same error.
In which direction to dig?
Best regards,

by Michael Ivanov

address (the one from tap0 interface inside a container). Is this
expected?
