This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.39. Please don't
close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Comment 1 Christian Kujau 2011-06-19 19:54:30 UTC 
It does not seem to be a regression from 2.6.39 - in the syslog-ng bugtracker[0] the problem had been reported for 2.6.38+ too and now I'm not really sure if that's that's a syslog-ng bug or something else. I'd understand the "deprecated" message, but I was kinda worried by the WARNING. That's why I sent this to lkml.

Thanks,
Christian.

This is a syslog-ng problem.  https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=108#c14
holds the answer.  Yes the kernel accepts CAP_SYS_ADMIN but syslog-ng should be moved over to use CAP_SYSLOG on newer kernels.
Comment 3 Tony Breeds 2011-06-20 01:08:33 UTC 
Also this may have been found on ppc32 but it's specific to that platform.  This is generic code.

Bug should be closed or at least assigned elsewhere.
