Is this a problem in systemd or are the full caps ok in systemd?

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pscap -a | egrep "(init|systemd)"

Full caps

Systemd has expected caps only

Additional info:
Let me know if this is not a bug (i will fix the test), or reassing to systemd

Comment 1 Steve Grubb 2012-07-13 13:03:47 UTC

It think its OK for systemd to have full capabilities. The ones that should are programs that normally spawn other programs like: xinetd, crond, sshd, gdm. I think this can be closed.
