<p>Move page from old installation</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Drawing the Line=<br /> Fakeroot-ng's design makes it possible to emulate just about any behavior that root can do, without escalating privileges. In fact, the &quot;[http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ user mode linux]&quot; project emulates an entire kernel using the very same ptrace technology employed by fakeroot-ng. Just because it is possible to run an entire kernel this way, however, does not mean this is desired.<br /> <br /> ==Out of Scope==<br /> Some capabilities available for a root user are simply out of scope for the fakeroot-ng project. The following layers of emulation are, theoretically, possible in fakeroot-ng, but no such support is planned.<br /> * Containers<br /> ** Mount namespaces<br /> * Xattributes<br /> * Capabilities<br /> * Privileges drop<br /> * Proc filesystem emulation (under consideration)</div>
