Subject[PATCH 1/1] added code to export CAP_LAST_CAP in /proc/sys/kernel modeled after ngroups_max
Date
In response to a request by the Linux Plumbers about getting CAP_LAST_CAP exposed somehow, I talked to Lennart Poettering briefly and went ahead and added cap_last_cap to /proc/sys/kernel in a similar fashion as ngroups_max is exported.  The patch is simple and just adds another struct to the array of exported values in sysctl.c.
