| 1 | Hi there! |
| 2 | |
| 3 | While working on bug 22016 I found out that access to |
| 4 | /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound is forbidden if the capability |
| 5 | CAP_SYS_MODULE is not available - does anyone of you have an idea why? |
| 6 | I can't find sense behind this, perhaps some lkml reader knows more about |
| 7 | it? |

| 10 | I find that it was a later additon. |

| 12 | Who understands this and is able to explain it to me? :-) |
