capabilities.7: Various minor fixes as per Debian bug 471029
...
The relevant pieces of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471029 are:
- Delete duplicate subentry for KEYCTL_CHOWN/KEYCTL_SETPERM
operations in the CAP_SYS_ADMIN entry. (It feels like that
capability entry should be converted to a list, but I've left it
in semicolon-delimited form for now.)
- Remove text about ENFILE from the text about the
/proc/sys/fs/file-max limit in the CAP_SYS_ADMIN entry, since
this is already described in the man pages for the relevant
ofile-creating system calls.
- Correct or clarify a few other bits of grammar and such; see the
diff file itself for details.
