Anyway, we could check if we have required capabilities if we are not root. This is the way we do it (while using custom kernel module that gives those capabilities to specified uids/gids): http://Xtrmntr.org/ORBman/tmp/nmap-3.51-noroot_autocap.patch (applies to 3.81 too)
Wouldn't this need a new configure check too? not all systems will have the sys/capability.h header. eg. My suse 9.0 machines have it but an older debian box doesn't.
