cool, I wasn't aware of this. never ever seen a patch for 
the cap devices. does anyone have link ?

My decision for the *uid files (instead of cap devices) was
because:

a) more flexibilty (not only limited to factotum stuff)
b) the kernel doesn't know of usernames.

So, IMHO, the cap handling should be done in userland.
