Hello,

During 2.6.38 development CAP_SYSLOG has been introduced to perform syslog operations, older CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not sufficient anymore.

It's a known issue, but no suitable solution (that doesn't break in interesting ways under pressure) has been found yet. Since CAP_SYSLOG breaks userspace, I'm hoping that this will be reverted before the 2.6.38 release. Though, looking at recent lkml traffic, I'll have to Cc a few more people regarding the issue. -- |8]
