[Bug 11422] New: Feature request: add support for Linux libcap[-ng]
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11422 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: wayned at samba.org Reporter: rsync at sanitarium.net QA Contact: rsync-qa at 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.
