This may be set to "linux32" to run a 32-bit Linux chroot on an amd64 system, for example. * dchroot has an additional personality field in dchroot.conf. This may also be set to linux32 to achieve the same effect as the personality setting in schroot.conf. * The root user can access all chroots, even when the root group is omitted from the groups or root_groups lists. Authentication is still required, but by default is skipped due to using pam_rootok.so in the PAM configuration. * Session recovery is only performed at system startup, not on upgrades. This prevents upgrades interfering with active sessions.
