+ <para>
+ The <command>newgidmap</command> sets <filename>/proc/[pid]/gid_map</filename>
+ based on its command line arguments and the gids allowed. Subgid
+ delegation can either be managed via <filename>/etc/subgid</filename>
+ or through the configured NSS subid module. These options are mutually
+ exclusive.
+ </para>

+ <para>
+ Note that the root group is not exempted from the requirement for a valid
+ <filename>/etc/subgid</filename> entry.

+ <para>
