Along the same lines as the suggestion to use VMware, have you thought about User Mode Linux? User Mode Linux lets you run virtual Linux machines on your existing Linux system. If you have enough memory, you could give each of your user groups their own virtual Linux machine with its own filesystem and virtual hardware, offering much greater isolation than chroot. Each could also run their own version of Apache/mod_perl/PHP, fulfilling potentially different security requirements. Compromise of one virtual machine wouldn't compromise the others or the real box that they're running on. -- James Walden, Ph.D. Visiting Assistant Professor of EECS The University of Toledo @ LCCC http://www.eecs.utoledo.edu/~jwalden/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
