      This program will, when starting, try to switch to another user.
616
      If it is started as root, it will succeed, and will by default
617
      switch to user and group 65534, which are assumed to be
618
      non-privileged.  This user and group is then what all plugins
619
      will be started as.  Therefore, the only way to run a plugin as
620
      a privileged user is to have the set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit
