-holes, but it has the disadvantages of requiring super-user privileges,
-of not being able to follow symbolic links that are either absolute or outside
-of the new root path, and of complicating the preservation of usernames and groups
-(see below). When "use chroot" is false, for security reasons,
-symlinks may only be relative paths pointing to other files within the root
-path, and leading slashes are removed from most absolute paths (options
-such as bf(--backup-dir), bf(--compare-dest), etc. interpret an absolute path as
-rooted in the module's "path" dir, just as if chroot was specified).

+2.6.9).
