Capabilities support

[aanderse]

a pretty common pattern for many daemons is to require a very minimal set of root privileges, like the ability to bind to a port under 1024, and no other reason - web servers, dns servers, etc... for example

i think that capabilities support in finit would be a nice feature

the dinit service manager, which has some similar goals to finit, has this support - which i think is supporting evidence that capabilities support wouldn't be project scope creep

Yes, very good suggestion! 👍

i don't have the ability to assign this to myself... but i was planning on at least giving this a try in the next couple weeks

will report back if i have any luck
