This would seem straight forward enough (I thought I could just add '-- xattrs' to both creation and extraction of tar), but that doesn't seem to look. See the attachment, and its output here, it seems that tar is losing these.
$ sudo /tmp/xattr-save-ping $ ls -l /bin/ping -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44168 Mar 15 02:24 /bin/ping $ attr -l /bin/ping Attribute "capability" has a 20 byte value for /bin/ping $ tar -C / --xattrs -Scpf - bin/ping | tar -C $tmpd --xattrs -Sxpf - $ ( cd $tmpd && attr -l bin/ping ) $ ( cd $tmpd && attr -l ping_rsync ) Attribute "capability" has a 20 byte value for ping_rsync So, above, it seems like bin/ping that was created by tar did not get the attr laid down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313550 Title: ping does not work as a normal user on trusty tarball cloud images.
