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.

Thanks,

DR
