Has anyone here has tried out chroot_safe[1]? Any comments on how well it works, or how it compares security-wise to a normal chroot environment? I have a couple of small apps (such as the [EMAIL PROTECTED] client) which I'd like to run chroot'd, and this beastie sounds like an ideal way to go about it.
For those of you aren't familiar, chroot_safe claims to chroot dynamically linked applications without requiring all the libraries (and other supporting files) to be present. Apparently this is done by pre-linking (via a LD_PRELOAD stub), and then chrooting before the app is actually started.
