And, just FYI, the reason that you were getting the chroot error is 'cause
of the way that chroot works -- once you changed root with
chroot /www
chroot then goes to execute your $SHELL (or /bin/sh, failing $SHELL being
defined)... however, shince /bin/sh is no longer accessible (after all,
your root is now /www -- unless you've got sh in /www/bin/sh, it won't be
accessible any more), you bomb out with the error you got. chroot is a
powerful, but tricky, command -- probably best to stick with the FTP docs
which will do it for you, when tweaked properly (as someone else's e-mail
pointed out).
