 By creating such a file with suitable entries, you can run mercurial-server as a user other than <systemitem
 class="username">hg</systemitem>, or install it without root privileges; however I strongly recommend that if you need to do this, you use a user account that is used for no other purpose, and take the time to thoroughly understand how mercurial-server works before you attempt it.
