Accessing executables? Breaking out of chroot?
What exactly do you and John do with your ftp servers?
Breaking out of a chroot jail is fairly easy, yes, if you're root and have a
shell prompt. It's not that easy (or indeed possible) through an ftp client.
And I have never seen any need to access executables through an ftp client,
unless I was trying to download them, in which case they should simply be
copied to the ftp directory

Of course, if that's done, the user won't be able to do much, as he
won't be able to access any executables that aren't in that jail.
