[net.unix-wizards] restricted security via chroot

From:  Mike Brzustowicz <mab@AIDS-UNIX.ARPA>

Chroot (as implemented on system III and, I assume system V as well) really
restricts one to a sub tree because the kernel interprets '..' as '.' in
the root directory (somewhere in the namei mess).  YOu don't need to damage
your file system.
