< p > < code > control< / code > provides a common interface to register and control (what it calls) system facilities.
This is intended primarily for facilities that can potentially be dangerous to system security, to let you enable, disable, or configure each facility.
A typical facility is a SUID/SGID/setcap program or a configuration setting of a service.< / p >
< p > Included initially are facility specifications corresponding to the < code > shadow-utils< / code > package. Currently, these allow to < code > control< / code > access to 5 privileged programs - 3 of them (< code > chage< / code > , < code > gpasswd< / code > , and < code > newgrp< / code > ) are by default SUID root and 2 (< code > newuidmap< / code > and < code > newgidmap< / code > ) are < code > cap_setuid=ep< / code > .< / p >
