Now I'm confused.  Why would the binary have to be suid?

Because if they didn't type --help, we are going to have to log the attempted compromise. Sending an audit event requires CAP_AUDIT_WRITE. You have to be
setuid root from the beginning or not at all.

Can't a non-root user audit now that we have file system capabilities?
