63 * Version 2 capabilities worked fine, but the linux/capability.h file
64 * that accompanied their introduction encouraged their use without
65 * the necessary user-space source code changes. As such, we have
66 * created a version 3 with equivalent functionality to version 2, but
67 * with a header change to protect legacy source code from using
68 * version 2 when it wanted to use version 1. If your system has code
69 * that trips the following warning, it is using version 2 specific
70 * capabilities and may be doing so insecurely.
72 * The remedy is to either upgrade your version of libcap (to 2.10+,

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