SECURITY

45       pure-quotacheck switches real and effective uids/gids as soon as possi‐
46       ble. Root privileges are never given back.
47       pure-quotacheck  refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid
48       = 0 (wheel/root) .
49       pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call  to  the  home  directory.  It
50       never traverses parent directories.
51       pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
52       pure-quotacheck  enforces read access on directories to prevent against
53       people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan.
54       pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly
55       write the .ftpquota file.
56       pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
