Well, I found the output of getpcap cryptic, and was unable to Google up
any documentation that was 'adequate'.

As to using vservers without 'going all the way', I was just playing
with the various 'levels' in between: e.g. running bind9:
-- start bind9, let it chroot
-- use setpcap, take way chroot and other privs,
-- use context setting tool, make sure bind can no longer see other processes.

I dunno. Maybe in the end, there no difference/not a lot of differnce
between doing this and creating true virtual servers... I'm just playing
with alternate approaches.
