<I>group</I> was not given, the default group of
<I>user</I>. Exit if the privileges are not
sufficient to do so.

+Before changing to the user ID given in the --user option, chroot to
+that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to the
+<B>Privoxy</B> process that the directory tree starts
+there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact of possible
+vulnerabilities in <B>Privoxy</B> to the files contained in
+that hierarchy.
