--- Comment #5 from Shawn Webb <shawn.webb@hardenedbsd.org> ---
(In reply to Brooks Davis from comment #4)
That's essentially what I'm doing. I'm writing a non-capsicumized child pro=
cess
that handles socket and file descriptor creation in addition to file system
access calls (like unlink, rename, etc.). I'm using file descriptor passing
over a socketpair between the non-Capsicumized child process and its
Capsicumized parent.

It seems, though, that CAP_CONNECT shouldn't even exist if connect(2) doesn=
't
support Capsicum. All of FreeBSD's official documentation leads developers =
like
me to believe that calling connect(2) within a capabilities enabled process=
 is
possible.

It seems non-intuitive that I have to wrap connect(2) via the file descript=
or
passing mechanism I've designed, especially with CAP_CONNECT exists.
