 For example, if you want to adjust the permissions on a particular
 file you can just add an entry like:
 
-  /sbin/foobar        f       2755    0       0       -       -       -       -       -
+  /sbin/foobar f 2755 0 0 - - - - -
 
 and (assuming the file /sbin/foobar exists) it will be made setuid
 root (regardless of what its permissions are on the host filesystem.

 minors.  For example, if I wanted to create /dev/hda and
 /dev/hda[0-15] I could just use the following two table entries:

 uid is the user id for the target file, gid is the group id for the
