Alan M. Carroll commented on TS-4134:
-------------------------------------
As part of the patch I removed several {{#ifdef USE_POSIX_CAPS}} wrappers
around elevation calls. I didn't see any purpose to them except as guards for
when the elevation didn't work for non-POSIX. It's possible the elevation to
full super user privileges was considered excessive but there were no comments
to that effect and asking on IRC yielded no response.

> Traffic Manager aborts since it cannot elevate access in mgmt/Rollback.cc and
> mgmt/LocalManager.cc. The root of the issue might be that the semantics of
> the ElevateAccess constructor argument was changed from (boolean,level) to
> just a (level) by commit 6a5f6241 or TS-306. It seems the ElevateAccess
> access( <boolean-expression> ) calls in these two files were not changed.
