-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I have isolated the problem. File capabilities are not assigned when the program being executed is located on a filesystem mounted with the "nosuid" option.
This seems counter-intuitive; a fully capability-based system would not use setuid binaries... so a logical thing to do would be to prevent the setuid bits from doing anything, which is what the nosuid flag is for, no? Or am I missing something? Can we get a config flag to toggle this behaviour?
