This option allows the ownership and permissions on the setuid
wrappers for specific programs to be overridden from the
default (setuid root, but not setgid root).
<para>Additionally, this option can set capabilities on a

<para>The <literal>program</literal> attribute is the name of

<para>NOTE: cap_setpcap, which is required for the wrapper
program to be able to raise caps into the Ambient set is NOT
raised to the Ambient set so that the real program cannot
modify its own capabilities!! This may be too restrictive for
cases in which the real program needs cap_setpcap but it at
least leans on the side security paranoid vs. too
relaxed.</para>
