That doesn't make any sense. The purpose of chroot is to isolate a process from the filesystem outside of the chroot. It is completely illogical to attempt to isolate a management tool from the system it is intended to manage. If you're trying to increase the security of your system, look elsewhere. The webadmin CGI runs as root. chroot's design intentionally allows the root user to leave the chroot. You cannot use chroot isolation as a security restriction for processes that run as the root user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
