Can any kernel guru shed some light on this?

Even though I got it working, I would be way happier knowing what was 
going on so that I can avoid similar issues in the future.

I never saw any reference to the 'capability' module in the kernel 
config when I recompiled, but then I wasn't looking for it. So I am 
clueless about its connection to vsftpd.
