+	help
+	  The config option toggles if a task setting it's loginuid requires
+	  CAP_SYS_AUDITCONTROL or if that task should require no special permissions
+	  but should instead only allow setting its loginuid if it was never
+	  previously set.  On systems which use systemd or a similar central
+	  process to restart login services this should be set to true.  On older
+	  systems in which an admin would typically have to directly stop and
+	  start processes this should be set to false.  Setting this to true allows
+	  one to drop potentially dangerous capabilites from the login tasks,
+	  but may not be backwards compatible with older init systems.
