 ### Giving non-root access
 
-The `docker` daemon always runs as the root user,
-and since Docker version 0.5.2, the `docker` daemon
-binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By default that Unix
-socket is owned by the user *root*, and so, by default, you can access
-it with `sudo`.

 Starting in version 0.5.3, if you (or your Docker installer) create a
-Unix group called *docker* and add users to it, then the
-`docker` daemon will make the ownership of the Unix
-socket read/writable by the *docker* group when the daemon starts. The
-`docker` daemon must always run as the root user,
-but if you run the `docker` client as a user in the
-*docker* group then you don't need to add `sudo` to
-all the client commands. As of 0.9.0, you can specify that a group other
-than `docker` should own the Unix socket with the
-`-G` option.
