I did some reading up on jails and chroot. Sounds much more secure to me. So both of these methods let me specify a directory on my drive that is treated exactly like the root directory and access is restricted to that directory. Does anybody have a good article or tutorial I can read on how to implement it though. I'm running two sites using Virtual Hosting. I do appreciate all this help too.
