Description Craig Andrews gentoo-dev

According to the Makefile:
https://github.com/firehol/netdata/blob/v1.2.0/src/Makefile.am#L92

the file "/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin " should have some capabilities set on it.

However, after installation,
# getcap /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin

returns no capabilities.

The correct output is:
# getcap /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin 
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin = cap_dac_read_search,cap_sys_ptrace+ep
