61 * Version 2 capabilities worked fine, but the linux/capability.h file

63 * the necessary user-space source code changes. As such, we have
64 * created a version 3 with equivalent functionality to version 2, but
65 * with a header change to protect legacy source code from using
66 * version 2 when it wanted to use version 1. If your system has code
67 * that trips the following warning, it is using version 2 specific
68 * capabilities and may be doing so insecurely.
70 * The remedy is to either upgrade your version of libcap (to 2.10+,

72 * application with modern kernel headers and this warning will go
