if you're chrooted under /tmp (as it sounds from your email) you're out of luck, unless you have a way to escape the chroot due to a misconfiguration of that environment in the first place.
If you are root, chroot is easy to break (that's why chroot is not secure for root-owned processes). -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
