A \f(CW\*(C`Runas_List\*(C'\fR is similar to a \f(CW\*(C`User_List\*(C'\fR except that it can
also contain uids (prefixed with '#') and instead of \f(CW\*(C`User_Alias\*(C'\fRes
-it can contain \f(CW\*(C`Runas_Alias\*(C'\fRes.
+it can contain \f(CW\*(C`Runas_Alias\*(C'\fRes. Note that usernames and groups
+are matched as strings. In other words, two users (groups) with
+the same uid (gid) are considered to be distinct. If you wish to
+match all usernames with the same uid (e.g. root and toor), you
+can use a uid instead (#0 in the example given).
