Serge,

+ 470a68120cda83875a281354b897f3bda04b58fc

Could you also modify the old comment above

 #define CAP_SETPCAP          8

"add any capability to the current process' inheritable set"

to read

"add any capability, from cap_bset, to the current process' inheritable set"

Otherwise, this all looks good.

Thanks

Andrew
