<para>
Each line in <filename>/etc/subuid</filename> contains
a user name and a range of subordinate user ids that user
is allowed to use.
This is specified with three fields delimited by colons
(<quote>:</quote>).
These fields are:
</para>
<itemizedlist mark='bullet'>
<listitem>
<para>login name</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>numerical subordinate user ID</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>numerical subordinate user ID count</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
This file specifies the user IDs that ordinary users can use, with
the <command>newuidmap</command> command, to configure uid mapping
in a user namespace.
</para>
<para>
Multiple ranges may be specified per user.
