Actually, ensim's product does create a chrooted environment. They
differ the greatest from most virtual server packages because they have
their own, proprietary, stripped down version of user mode linux. So
you're not really running as root, you're running as 'root' purely in
user space. Without root privledges to invoke system calls into kernel
space, ensim's root = freeVSD's admin with very little difference.
Pretty much all the virtual server products do exactly the same thing,
the variations just depend on where things happen (e.g. FreeVSD uses a
patched glibc in the vs, Sphera plays with the linker and preloads their
own library to override glibc system calls, and Ensim intercepts
standard system calls with a kernel module)
