From: Peter Wu Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 14:40:53 +0000 (+0100) Subject: mount.8: clarify (no)suid behavior on file capabilities X-Git-Tag: v2.34-rc1~132^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9de7fe4a3d5ea9b495ccd19eed9abe11da844b81;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git mount.8: clarify (no)suid behavior on file capabilities Clarify that the nosuid option also affects file capabilities and that it only limits execution of programs. (setgid on directories still inherit the group regardless of the nosuid option.) The new text is taken from the mount(2) manual page from the man-pages project.
