SECURITY

       pure-quotacheck  switches  real  and  effective  uids/gids as soon as possible. Root privileges are never
       given back.
       pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) .
       pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories.
       pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
       pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people  doing  chmod  0  before  a
       quota scan.
       pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file.
       pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
