I think you will find that this particular capability was supported in libcap 2.03. Current is 2.09. Also, having Ack'd your proposed kernel patch, I speculatively included support for it in libcap-2.08. I will, of course, remove this support if the kernel doesn't adopt your change - or picks a different strategy... As it is, the patched kernel works nicely. :-) http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/libcap2/ Cheers Andrew -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFIK86y+bHCR3gb8jsRAnV4AJ9gCaTwfKs8r7KX4DFixT84A5buOQCYlbaX mnMx52Yt2pRcLAXTOXElLA== =31Cy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
