I'm not sure how that vould work with chroot. But, setting up a user-mode-linux install would provide similar functionality, with the added bonus that it appears a totally seperate host to the outside world. You can then either have ports 20 and 21 forwarded from your real host to the UML host, or you can give the uml host its own IP on your network. -RobertoThat's a great idea. Can apache read documents inside a UML or would I need to install apache inside the UML as well? I am running a server with multiple websites, now I am opening it up to a few external clients. I want them to be able to modify their site w/o being able to move above their home directory so they are not able to view other sites hosted from the servers. Only remote access to the servers is through ssh2. Thanks again! Christopher Davis
Probably not. TTBOMK, UML installs use a large file on the host and build a file system inside it (treating it like a standard black device). If there were a way to use a specified part of the directory tree for your UML install (like for a chroot), then yes. Apache is capable of following symlinks anywhere on the file system, as long as it has permission to read the files. -Roberto
