Alec, Thanks for the suggestion.  I had thought of this, but I
wondered if there might be a way to abuse the symlink to break out of
the chroot jail.  I understand that would be more so if the symlink
where the other way (from the chroot, back to the home users dir), but
I don't know about from home user's dir to chroot?
