+<sect2>Overview of module
+
+<p>
+This module is intended to provide a transparent wrapper around the
+average user, one that puts them in a fake file-system (eg, their
+'<tt>/</tt>' is really <tt>/some/where/else</tt>).
+
+<p>
+Useful if you have several classes of users, and are slightly paranoid
+about security. Can be used to limit who else users can see on the
+system, and to limit the selection of programs they can run.

+<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>
+
+<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag>
+Do provide a reasonable list of programs - just tossing 'cat', 'ls', 'rm',
+'cp' and 'ed' in there is a bit...
+<p>
+Don't take it to extremes (eg, you can set up a separate environment for
+each user, but its a big waste of your disk space.)
