Hmm, I'm wondering if it's any better: if the attacker manages code to run in the chrooted daemon, I suspect he can also advise the part running as root to open up a new root connection? Isn't it that the separation simply protects against direct shell launch attacks? Well I'm not educated enough to know, just wondering.
