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.
