+
+Note that the pconsole binary needs to be run as root. For security reasons
+it was not installed suid root, thus you need to run pconsole.sh as root.
+
+If you decide to make pconsole setuid root, mind to restrict access
+via a special group (such as 'admin' or 'operator').
+
+pconsole is a very powerful tool that should not fall into the wrong
+hands. So, as root, execute:
+
+ chown root:operator pconsole ; chmod 4110 pconsole
+
+pconsole drops its root privileges when they're not needed, so the
+program maintains maximum security.
