It can be used to chroot programs that want to run as root. +For that to work though either sysvinit or the kernel need to be patched and +recompiled (instructions on how to go about this are included in /usr/doc). + +However since filesystem capabilities are implemented it can also be used +as a 'su' command with inheritance support, similar to the 'capsh' command +from the libcap package (but featuring chroot support).
