63 * created a version 3 with equivalent functionality to version 2, but

65 * version 2 when it wanted to use version 1. If your system has code

67 * capabilities and may be doing so insecurely.
69 * The remedy is to either upgrade your version of libcap (to 2.10+,

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