Privileges associated with a file
Each executable file on the system can have two privilege sets.
These are:
-
Fixed privileges
-
Inheritable privileges
These sets are disjoint, that is,
a privilege can not be defined
as both fixed and inheritable for the same file.
If an executable file does not
require any privileges then both sets are empty.
NOTE:
Inheritable privileges are unused in this release. They are
present for future work only, and can be safely ignored.
