Package: libcap2-bin
Version: 1:2.19-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm trying to use pam_cap.so to give extra capabilities to the user 
"backuphelper"
on my Debian Squeeze system.

I have added "cap_dac_read_search     backuphelper" to 
/etc/security/capability.conf
but pam_cap.so seems to be ignoring it or plain not working, as no matter what 
change
I do to the file, no extra privileges are granted to any user when logging in, 
either
through ssh or su.

/etc/pam.d/{sshd,su} @include /etc/pam.d/common-auth, which contains the line
"auth    optional                        pam_cap.so", presumably added by 
libcap2-bin's
postinst script.

Thank you for your work!

Cheers,
Antonio
