Yes, but in that case it's for ALL users, or? (I think you can't run chroot
as non-root)
I just want some users to have a limited root... (I don't want to change
the perm's of all files like those from gcc and bin's, just want to make a
nice limited root for some users, not all; just like with ftp: then I can
put a . in a users homedirectory...
That's not possible?
