Subject: "Default Linux Capabilities" default in 2.6.24
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:12:01 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080124191201.324cf1a0.kernel1@cyberdogtech.com> (raw)


I'm doing a make oldconfig with the new 2.6.24 kernel.  I came to the prompt for "Default Linux Capabilities" which defaults to No:

---
 Default Linux Capabilities (SECURITY_CAPABILITIES) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?
---

However the help text recommends saying Yes.

---
 This enables the "default" Linux capabilities functionality.
 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
---

Does this seem incongruous?  Also, what's the "question"? :)

Thanks, 
Matt LaPlante
