I thought it would be best for a user to be chroot()-ed into his home directory. But I haven't any idea on how to do something like that. Can somebody please give me a brief explanation which files to modify... I belive it's impossible to chroot into /usr/home/username without every user having his own /bin with all the executables, so I'll better chroot() them into /usr/home and make all users directories inaccessible to other users than their owners? ++Tomaz
