+# Uncommenting the following three lines will polyinstantiate
+# /tmp, /var/tmp and user's home directories. /tmp and /var/tmp will
+# be polyinstantiated based on the MLS level part of the security context as well as user
+# name, Polyinstantion will not be performed for user root and adm for directories
+# /tmp and /var/tmp, whereas home directories will be polyinstantiated for all users.
+# The user name and context is appended to the instance prefix.
+#
+# Note that instance directories do not have to reside inside the
+# polyinstantiated directory. In the examples below, instances of /tmp
+# will be created in /tmp-inst directory, where as instances of /var/tmp
+# and users home directories will reside within the directories that
+# are being polyinstantiated.
+#
+# Instance parent directories must exist for the polyinstantiation
+# mechanism to work. By default, they should be created with the mode
+# of 000. pam_namespace module will enforce this mode unless it
+# is explicitly called with an argument to ignore the mode of the
+# instance parent. System administrators should use this argument with
+# caution, as it will reduce security and isolation achieved by
+# polyinstantiation.
