Anybody is using pam_chroot?
I once made an attempt to setup some "application" users, so I could e.g. "su webbrowser", and it would start the chroot'ed app. It almost worked... every now and then the su failed, retry succeeded. It's tricky to get it working with X in a secure way (all your applications with different uids sharing the same display...) For "normal users" this should be no problem. I did not look at the coe itself, I cannot tell how mature this is is. It obviously is not well documented -- or I was too dumb to find it. All in all I could not make it do what I wanted it to do. Now I'm back to an explicit chroot, if I need one. Hints on the original intention of pam_chroot most welcome! Lars
