Bug#117996: wnpp: ITP: chrootuid

[Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena <jfs@dat.etsit.upm.es>]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A

Available at www.porcupine.org

Description:
Chrootuid makes it easy to run a network service at low privilege
level and with restricted file system access.  In the past I used
this program to run the gopher and www (world-wide web) network
daemons in a restricted environment:  the daemons have access only
to their own directory tree, and run under a low-privileged userid.
Nowadays I also use it for proxy servers.  The arrangement greatly
reduces the impact of possible loopholes in network software.
