FreeBSD has a syscall called jail, which is more secure than a chroot... it
restrcts the jailed area to both a directory and an IP address, and provides
more of a virtual machine seperation.

It's pretty neat; I wish Linux had something like it now, although User-Mode
Linux is actually pretty close, if setup properly.
