+Trusted Path Execution is a security feature that denies users from executing
+programs that are not owned by root, or are writable. This closes the door on a
+whole category of exploits where a malicious user tries to execute his or her
+own code to attack the system.
+
+Since this module doesn't use any kind of ACLs, it works out of the box with no
+configuration. It isn't complicated to test or deploy to current production
+systems. Just install it and you're done!
