 The user name from jailed environment as whom the
 .Ar command
 should run.
+.Sh DESIGN NOTES
+Administrator have to be aware that non-jailed users
+can kill processes owned by the same UID that are
+running in jail environments.  It is suggested that
+the administrators do not create user accounts outside
+the jail enviornments with the same UIDs as the accounts
+inside the jail.  Exactly same problem exists with file
+system objects and this can't be sloved in this way,
+because no information about jail exists in file's inode
+and users outside of jail are not chrooted.
+
+If administrator is running virtual servers with jail and
+with regular users inside those virtual servers, it is
+recommended that there should be no users accounts on this
+machine outside the jail environments.
+
+This above is an expected behavior.
