Subject: huge page access..

hi everyone,
   i am a kernel newbie, i wanted to know something about hugetlbfs.
     -   is huge pages only accessible to root user ?
     -   if so, when a process tries to accesses a huge pages, how
does  kernel checks if its an authorized User ID (or root user id) ?
