            "content": "pamnamespacehelper is a helper program for the pamnamespace module that sets up a private\nnamespace for a session with polyinstantiated directories. The helper ensures that the\nnamespace mount points exist before they are started to be used for the polyinstantiated\ndirectories. Mount points for home directories (lines with $HOME) are not created.\n\npamnamespacehelper should be run by systemd at system startup. It should also be run by the\nadministrator after defining the polyinstantiated directories but before enabling them.\n",
