Quoted from http://yahanbi.snu.ac.kr/study-archive/security/8.html
5. Restricted Filesystem
chroot() system call : changes a process's view of the filesystem
in SVR4, if the shell field for a user in the /etc/passwd file is
filled with "*", then the login program will make a chroot() call on
the home directory field.
copy some files in the /etc, /lib, /usr/lib, /bin .. to other
directory.
