Description : an extended chroot with features like Xorg-access or read-only roots

xchroot is still one of the most used programs on elstel.org though nowadays there are alternatives for chroot with Xorg/X11. However xchroot also allows to chroot onto a chroot environment on a read only data carrier like a blue ray where temporary writes are stored via aufs where the differences can be saved to disk intermediately for later chroots. Besides two different methods for chroot with Xorg xchroot supports chroot as user via sudo, automounting of directories and multiple simultaneous chroots to the same root unmounting only when the last user leaves the chroot. sudoers entries can be added and removed via xchroot for different users and chroot root directories.
