+    <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>
+      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.
