📄 Description

Add verbiage to the man pages clarifying that the files/directories in the lists given to options such as --private-bin must be relative to the directory that is being limited (e.g., --private-bin requires a list of files/directories that are relative to /bin).

Signed-off-by: Jeff Squyres jeff@squyres.com

I made this PR because it took me a while to figure out why I couldn't properly restrict things with --private-opt. Adding this verbiage will hopefully save another newbie like me some time in the future!
