Hi, as I just looked into it, I thought it might be of interest for someone else. looking at the last kernel update i found the following in the changelog: * Mo Nov 24 2008 agruen@suse.de - Switch from a no_file_caps command line switch to file_caps={0,1} for enabling/disabling file capabilities, and make file_caps=0 the default: we cannot get the no_file_caps option added to the kernel command line anymore (perl-Bootloader, bnc#418366). Sadly I cannot read bnc#418366. Looking at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2008-11/msg01663.html: I see: ++ file_caps Tells the kernel whether to honor file capabilities. ++ When disabled, the only way then for a file to be ++ executed with privilege is to be setuid root or executed ++ by root. ++ Format: {"0" | "1"} ++ 0 -- ignore file capabilities. ++ 1 -- honor file capabilities. ++ Default value is 1. so the default is 1 as I hoped and not 0, which would be different than vanilla.
