| Let's not lose sight of the fact that chroot can most certainly | compromise security if used improperly Yes, of course, there can be security issues with almost everything, and with this more than many - I wasn't intending to say that seurity can be ignored when using chroot (it is a root only facility for good reason, and should be used with as much care as any other root only facility), just that if we stop seeing it as a security solution, then when other things are being considered, we can stop worrying whether or not they defeat chroot's "security solution" or not. kre
