Re: [gentoo-user] iputils - caps and filecaps USE flags?

break less things. The "filecaps" flag is the "equivalent" of the suid bit but for specific capabilities (so instead of providing ping with suid-root you can give it CAP_NET_RAW only). It is almost always better to enable both of these where possible since it helps decrease the attack surface for the programs in question. Read capabilities(7) for more information. -- Simon Thelen

concept of "Trash", the creation of such a mailbox is the prerogative of the client (unless the server itself feels that the imap client doesn't know what it's doing and moves deleted emails into a different mailbox; not that I've ever seen a mail server do that), therefore changing the locale on the mail server won't help and it is indeed something on the client that needs to be changed. -- Simon Thelen
