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 PS: I prepared this report on another system, also running Debian Squeeze.
