    Log Message:
    Fix typo in condition (if linux) for setting the SETCAP/setcap target

    As reported via irc by Nelgin, the setcap target was not being passed
    to 'make -C src/sbbs3' by default (on Linux) due to a misplaced paren.

    Log Message:
    Make the default SETCAP value to be /sbin/setcap

    <Dan_C> DigitalMan: minor install issue noted today - during a fresh (Linux) install on a test box, the build failed because it was unable to execute the "sudo setcap ..." command. This was on Slackware 15.0, where the setcap executable is located in /sbin , and that directory is not in the $PATH of a normal user, or even when a normal user uses the 'sudo' command.

    Also include SETCAP in the set of documented make variables.

    Apparently setcap isn't in /sbin for all Linux distros

    So use 'whereis' to find and and 'cut' to trim its output

    This reverts commit 6a2c3722966ff2fd4ca6a114e035d4bd4f340dfc.

    SETCAP isn't a command-line afterall, it's a build target.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Don't set/reset ownership of files if Linux setcap was used

    'chown' resets Linux capabilities (e.g. cap_net_bind_service=ep), so these calls reset the earlier bind-capabilities enablement, meaning the auto-setup feature on Linux-install really never worked?
