- Recently there were some postings that described using chroot for users as
- a means of avoiding some problems. Can someone describe to me how this is
- done? I naiively tried putting a "chroot" command in a .profile for a
- restricted Korn shell to see what happens, and it says that chroot may only
- be run by the superuser.
-
- I'd appreciate replies via email or news.

- Thanks,
- Pete.
