Bug Description

Some applications like the ntp implementation I just tried to snap will need certain syscalls and capabilties to get and adjust time. Those will be:

List of systemcalls as SCMP_SYS defines for seccomp:
- adjtimex
- clock_gettime
- clock_settime
- getitimer
- setitimer

List of Capabilities needed:
- CAP_SYS_RESOURCE (allow more than 64hz interrupts from the real-time clock;)
- CAP_SYS_TIME (for adjtimex and such)

Thanks for the bug report. I think this should be named 'system-time-control' to follow our naming conventions. Are you planning on proposing a PR to snapd to implement this?

I'm good with the name, didn't know about the guideline but looking at the others it makes sense.

I would have tried a PR, but recently I've had a few higher prio things incoming so for now I 'd have to hope and rely on you and the other snapsperts.
