%%name: userv

%%short-description: Security boundary tool

%%full-description: Userv allows one program to invoke another when
only limited trust exists between them. It is a tool which can be used
to avoid having to give other system services root privileges, and
which allows users to more securely have programs provide services to
others.

Userv can be useful as 'glue' for system administrators as well as
application authorsX; there are a few userv-using utilities/examples in
the associated userv-utils package.
