- Hello all. Ran into some weird behaviour with chroot()ing
- under Coh 3.2, wondering if anyone else has dealt with it...
-
- chroot() seems to work - I managed to create a "virtual" root
- system with a minimal but functional environment, logins, and
- email back to the real world, *but* it's possible to break out
- by going to the virtual-root directory and referencing "..".
-
- I suppose I could manually go in and make ".." point elsewhere,
- but I was hoping there was a cleaner solution - one which
- would allow the virtual system to remain a normal directory
- tree in the eyes of the real system...
-
- Anyone else use chroot()?
