Re: [TCLUG:16763] chroot

I played around with chroot a little bit after Clay brought this up.
It looks like you would have to link/mirror all the usual commands 
into the user's home dir.  Like with anon ftp you have to have a few
basic commands in $NEWROOT/bin. 

There must be a better way to do it.
