Yes, in anticipation of getting rid of the patch that disables
fscaps by default I've switched the default from file caps off to
file caps on in chkstat. The patch that introduces
/sys/kernel/fscaps is now upstream (thanks Greg). So as soon as
someone submits the next upstream kernel update to Factory chkstat
can decide whether to use fscaps or suid dynamically.
