        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).

        <note>
          <para>Additionally, this option can set capabilities on a
          wrapper program that propagates those capabilities down to the
          wrapped, real program.</para>

          <para>The <literal>program</literal> attribute is the name of
          the program to be wrapped. If no <literal>source</literal>
          attribute is provided, specifying the absolute path to the
          program, then the program will be searched for in the path
          environment variable.</para>

          <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>
