Hi there!

While working on bug 22016 I found out that access to
/proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound is forbidden if the capability
CAP_SYS_MODULE is not available - does anyone of you have an idea why?
I can't find sense behind this, perhaps some lkml reader knows more about
it? 
On
http://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linux_2_2/anno/kernel/sysctl.c@1.10?nav=index.html%7CChangeSet@-3y%7Ccset@1.73
I find that it was a later additon.

Who understands this and is able to explain it to me? :-)

Thanks in advance,

Patrick
