ftp://linux.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.2/

There is more info here:

ftp://ftp.guardian.no/pub/free/linux/capabilities/capfaq.txt

http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=linux-kernel&s=Capabilities+morgan

http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=linux-kernel&s=Capabilities+astor

At this point, ACLs are awaiting Remy Card's completion. I believe there
are patches floating around..

Capabilities are currently missing VFS support (this was vetoed for 2.2)

I'm not aware that anyone has working code for the other POSIX 6 stuff.

Ted Ts'o holds the keys to the linux-privs@mit.edu email list that was
used to coordinate the capability code.

Hope that helps...

Cheers

Andrew
