apparently I dont actually have the capabilities systemd show says I have:

bash-5.1# capsh --print
Current: =ep cap_net_admin,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_pacct,cap_sys_time,cap_mac_override,cap_mac_admin,cap_syslog,cap_wake_alarm,cap_block_suspend,cap_audit_read,cap_perfmon,cap_bpf,cap_checkpoint_restore-ep
Bounding set =cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_linux_immutable,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_broadcast,cap_net_raw,cap_ipc_owner,cap_sys_chroot,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_boot,cap_sys_nice,cap_sys_resource,cap_sys_tty_config,cap_mknod,cap_lease,cap_audit_write,cap_audit_control,cap_setfcap
Ambient set =
Current IAB: !cap_net_admin,!cap_ipc_lock,!cap_sys_module,!cap_sys_rawio,!cap_sys_pacct,!cap_sys_time,!cap_mac_override,!cap_mac_admin,!cap_syslog,!cap_wake_alarm,!cap_block_suspend,!cap_audit_read,!cap_perfmon,!cap_bpf,!cap_checkpoint_restore

 secure-no-ambient-raise: no (unlocked)

Guessed mode: HYBRID (4)

Well, it is called "bounding" set?:

# systemctl show wireguard-w0 -p CapabilityBoundingSet | cat
CapabilityBoundingSet=cap_chown cap_dac_override cap_dac_read_search cap_fowner cap_fsetid cap_kill cap_setgid cap_setuid cap_setpcap cap_linux_immutable cap_net_bind_service cap_net_broadcast cap_net_admin cap_net_raw cap_ipc_lock cap_ipc_owner cap_sys_module cap_sys_rawio cap_sys_chroot cap_sys_ptrace cap_sys_pacct cap_sys_admin cap_sys_boot cap_sys_nice cap_sys_resource cap_sys_time cap_sys_tty_config cap_mknod cap_lease cap_audit_write cap_audit_control cap_setfcap cap_mac_override cap_mac_admin cap_syslog cap_wake_alarm cap_block_suspend cap_audit_read cap_perfmon cap_bpf cap_checkpoint_restore

more clearly:

bash-5.1# capsh --has-p=cap_net_admin --has-p=cap_syslog
cap[cap_net_admin] not permitted

In reply to @jcie74:matrix.org
Is there a tool that will tell me why the kernel is denying me something or do I have to learn ftrace.
