Re: Linux capabilities shouldn't be lost during setuid to non-rootfrom root or to another non-root uid from a non-root uid.

[crocket]

I don't like the fact that an application should be linux-specific to
keep capabilities after setuid.
If users added capabilities to a file, they would know what they were
doing, and they would want applications to keep capabilities even
after setuid.

If linux capabilities were kept after setuid by default, system
administration and programming would become easier.
