  Xastir can be installed in a way that allows members of the "xastir-ax25"
- system group to use a native Linux AX.25 interface from within Xastir. This
- is recommended over the alternative of running Xastir as root, as this
- configuration will attempt to use Linux capabilities to limit the privileges
- available to Xastir to only those required. Note that if Linux capabilities
- are not available, the binary will be installed setuid.
+ system group to use a native Linux AX.25 interface from within Xastir.
+ Where available this configuration uses Linux capabilities in order to
+ limit the process's privileges to only those required, falling back on
+ installing the binary setuid where Linux capabilities are not available.
+ .
+ This is recommended over the alternative of running Xastir directly as
+ root, but enabling it may be a security risk, so it is disabled by
+ default. If in doubt, or if you do not intend to use native AX.25
+ interfaces (using a serial TNC or Internet connection instead), it is
+ suggested to leave it disabled.
