+POSIX@tie{}@dfn{capabilities} to trusted executables. Capabilities offer a
+more granular alternative to the traditional setuid and setgid permissions,
+which remain available.
+
+To reflect this, @code{(gnu system setuid)} has been renamed to @code{(gnu
+system privilege)}. @code{privileged-programs} replaces @code{setuid-programs}
+as @code{operating-system} field and defaults to
+@code{%default-privileged-programs}. The executables themselves have moved from
+@file{/run/setuid-programs} to @file{/run/privileged/bin}.")
+ (nl "Waar de kernel dit toelaat kan Guix System nu
+POSIX@tie{}@dfn{capabilities} toewijzen aan vertrouwde uitvoerbare bestanden.
+``Capabilities'' zijn een fijnmaziger alternatief voor de klassieke setuid- en
+setgid-rechten, die ook beschikbaar blijven.
+
+Om dit duidelijk te maken heet @code{(gnu system setuid)} nu @code{(gnu system
+privilege)}. @code{privileged-programs} vervangt @code{setuid-programs} als
+veld in het @code{operating-system} en heeft @code{%default-privileged-programs}
+als standaardwaarde. De uitvoerbare bestanden verhuizen van
