Haha I would strongly suggest against that ;) Not knowing where people are=
=20
keeping the jails would impose quite a bit of harm if they did have them=20
in places like that or /var/jailname. Unfortunately in this case we can=20
only update the docs and hope that the user will keep up-to-date with=20
reading them.

Only other possibility I see is ensuring that noone inside the jail can=20
chmod or do anyting on / but this may actually be quite tough.
