Truly amazing! For "ping", it would be like this: $ /sbin/getcap /bin/ping /bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep $ chown root:root /bin/ping chown: changing ownership of '/bin/ping': Operation not permitted $ /sbin/getcap /bin/ping [ empty output ] And you don't even have to be root, so this is a lot easier method to lose the capability than doing tar + untar or using rsync without -X. Thanks.
