Just wondering: In the 2.6.12 kernels, the kernel26 package gets built with CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES = m (module), while the kernel26-scsi package uses CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES = y (compiled in). Anyone know why this is the case?
Also, I'm not too familiar with CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES and the "capability" kernel module. I needed to mess with it a bit recently though, as the upgrade to kernel 2.6.12 broke my ftp server (vsftpd). (Modprobing the "capability" module fixed this.) Is there anywhere I can read up on this kernel functionality and what it does? Googling turned up a lot of patch files, but not much useful info.
