Only a suggestion.
Christoph.

capabilities are know as privileges).
The contents of the libcap package are a library and a number of [...]
It should not be a problem to install this lib on a 2.4.x-kernel.

Sorry,
I just should have read the INSTALL from the vdr-package and installed libcap.
Thanks anyway. Alfred Zastrow wrote:
