I made an updated package (1.6.1) that has these fixes applied and sets

I can't really say which ones.)

Per http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2522 , giving the
program CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG is basically equivalent to making it
setuid-root.  Was the code designed to be run in such a risky setup?

Capabilities: still useless.
