--- Comment #6 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #5)
The block of code checking for CAP_UNLINKAT should not apply when an absolu=
te
path was originally passed to the system call. This is needed to maintain
POSIX's requirement that renameat() be equivalent to rename() unless either=
 old
or new specifies a relative path. I don't immediately know how to code this
best.

The patch from Conrad Meyer seems wrong since capabilities are supposed to =
be
enforced for all processes, not only ones in capability mode. This feature =
may
be useful when passing file descriptors to a process with a lower privilege
level.

In any case, this seems a valid bug.
