[SunHELP] ftp chroot

[Mike]

The whole idea of a chroot() is to move the user away from your crucial
filesystem. Running a webserver in this directory may open some
vulnerabilities to your documents/configuration files.

The software vendor should have documentation on this setup. You can try
looking through http://docs.sun.com

Thanks.
