is there a way to link a dir to another dir without it moving to that location on the filesystem. I was chrooting a user to lock them into a dir, but I still wanted them to have access to this one dir that sits outside the chrooted area???
mount --bind for dirs. If its on the same fs you can also concider hardlinking files with ln (doesnt work for dirs).
If you want a secure chroot you *must* use a separate filesystem

symlinking don't work across filesystem.

"mount --bind" is the only /secure/ way, it also work for sockets
(example: used to disable networking on mysql and still run mysql and apache in differents chroot)
