Last Friday, when uploading 1.1.1-pre1, I added a new section 'The first boot'
to instadm.htm, where this is repeatedly stated. Please feel free to comment or
send in change requests.

As /bin/login is also used for remote login via telnet, there must be a way
with auth_may_setuid off and some caps, e.g. 500-1000, on. Also, some Linux
version might have login in another directory, or with another name.

It is mostly a convenience switch, which spares you compiling a main kernel,
booting it, setting caps or auth_may_setuid and rebooting into full featured
RSBAC.

Amon.
