Yes, but a better thing is to fix dchroot's / su's stupidity with a
script (make this do_chroot):
I don't understand. What should I do with this script?
From the FAQ:
You can make things slightly simpler even than this. Write a small
shell script like the following, and place it in your PATH: eg.
/usr/local/bin/do_dchroot
[Use the new script from the mailing list]
Make it executable:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/do_dchroot
Now create a symlink to this script from each command you want to
run inside the chroot to this shell script:
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s do_dchroot openoffice
ln -s do_dchroot oowriter
ln -s do_dchroot oocalc
Now you can execute openoffice by simply typing openoffice or oowriter.
