- Ok, the man page says this does not do a chroot and will allow symbolic
- links to anything anywhere, but doesn't chroot follow symbolic links that
- are below the new root? This should work like anonymous ftp then which
- also does a chroot. So, if the symbolic links are contained within the
- gopher data directory shouldn't the links be visible without the -c
- option? Thanx...
