Re: chroot semantics fubar again in 1.8

[Jason Haar <Jason.Haar () trimble co nz>]

Historically (in other products), there has been a bit of a problem with
mis-implementations of chrooted jails. A buggy program with broken chroot
support is worse than one without.

Myself, I run every service I can in separate jails. Yup, it takes extra
diskspace (~10M/jail), but you know you're in control (and it's only my
fault if I screw up!).

If you're so worried about your configs, what about setting your snort
startup script to start in a jail, and then delete the configs? Won't that
work?

Oh yeah - and doing it yourself means you won't have to worry about any
future changes to chroot support either :-)
