Bug ID: 11422 Summary: Feature request: add support for Linux libcap[-ng] Product: rsync Version: 3.1.1 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: rs...@sanitarium.net QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Linux has added a concept called file capabilities. This allows certain binaries to perform specific privileged functions without requiring SUID root. Example: # getcap /bin/ping /bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep Rsync should be able to (optionally of course) copy these attributes as it can copy xattrs and ACLs. They should also be storable via --fake-super on non-Linux systems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
