The output of 'dumpe2fs -h /path/to/partition' may be of some help. The only filesystem attribute that seem to me to be related with this problem is 'ext_attr'. I'm not sure if mounting with nouser_xattr might have some influence. One funny thing is that 'man capabilities' says: "The file capability sets are stored in an extended attribute (see setxattr(2)) named security.capability." 'attr -l /usr/bin/ping' lists 'capability' as an attribute, however neither 'attr -g capability /usr/bin/ping' or 'attr -g security.capability /usr/bin/ping' can get the stored value. 'getcap /usr/bin/ping' does return the correct value. Things work fine for me but it seems that either the man page is not completely up-to-date, I'm missing something or less likely there is a bug somewhere. -- Mauro Santos
