In message <19980225210032.8900.qmail () joshua enteract com> you write:
OpenBSD's is better (IMO) - if fd_rdir, change the current directory too.

... which (as far as I remember) breaks POSIX 1003 compatibility
which states that chroot(2) shouldn't do a chdir(2).

Of course ... if you wanna build a firewall or other secured system,
you don't need no ****ing POSIX conformance :-)
