I'm playing with containerizing various parts of my server infrastructure and one of the services I would like to run in container is ntp daemon.



I'm using systemd-nspawn (systemd 233) as a hypervisor as well as init process inside of the containers.



ntpd version is 4.2.8p10.



Every time I try to start ntpd inside of a container it crashes with cap_set_proc() operation not permitted error:



21 Oct 11:10:23 ntpd[51]: ntpd 4.2.8p10@1.3728 Fri Oct 20 23:28:39 UTC 2017 (1): Starting

21 Oct 11:10:23 ntpd[51]: cap_set_proc() failed to drop root privs: Operation not permitted


What I have tried so far:



  1. Building ntpd without capabilities enabled - it starts properly, but still has same ntp_adjtime syscall permission issues.

  2. Running systemd-nspawn with --private-users=0 and without --private-users at all.

  3. Playing with capabilities for systemd-nspawn itself (mainly CAP_SYS_TIME and CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE)

  4. Playing with capabilities for ntpd inside of the container.

All this gave no positive results and I wonder what am I missing.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  • you don't set capabilities on systemd-nspawn. You use the capability option of systemd-nspawn.

  • @sourcejedi I have tried adding both capabilities required by ntpd into systemd-nspawn service itself.

  • that's also the wrong way to describe what you want to do. The systemd-nspawn command drops capabilities, according to the option you pass it. You cannot increase capabilities by setting them on systemd-nspawn.service.

  • I see what you mean, and I think I explained it wrong. What I tried is setting capability on the service file for systemd-nspawn on host, passing same capability as --capability argument to systemd-nspawn in the host and setting this capability on ntpd service inside of the container. Hope that makes sense.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
