Hi All,

I'm migrating a CentOS 6 bind instance (chrooted) to a CentOS 7 box and am 
curious of people's
opinions on chrooting vs selinux as a way of securing bind.

The bind-chroot on CentOS 7 also comes with a script 
(/usr/libexec/setup-named-chroot.sh) that sets
up the much maligned systemd and, through bind mounts, creates and extra level 
of chroot hierarchy
giving:

/var/named/chroot/var/named/chroot/var/named

which seems totally unnecessary.

I'm sure that bind-chroot would be happy enough running without the bind mounts 
but would I be
loosing anything in terms of security?

Also, would I bother with chrooting at all if selinux can secure the 
environment for me?

My own opinions aside what do others think and has anyone had experience with 
this?

Kind regards,
Tom
