Fakeroot-ng's design makes it possible to emulate just about any behavior that root can do, without escalating privileges. In fact, the "[http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ user mode linux]" 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>Shachar
