Subject: [PATCH 45/55] mount.8: clarify (no)suid behavior on file capabilities
439b44
439b44
Clarify that the nosuid option also affects file capabilities and that
439b44
it only limits execution of programs. (setgid on directories still
439b44
inherit the group regardless of the nosuid option.) The new text is
439b44
taken from the mount(2) manual page from the man-pages project.
