NAME
chrootuid
-
run command in restricted environment
SYNOPSIS
chrootuid newroot newuser command...
DESCRIPTION
The chrootuid command sets up a restricted environment for
command execution. Access to the file system is restricted to
the newroot subtree; privileges are restricted to those of
the newuser account (which must be a known account in the
unrestricted environment).
The initial working directory is changed to newroot.
chrootuid combines chroot(8) and su(1) into one program, so
that there is no need to have commands such as /usr/bin/su
in the restricted environment.
Only the superuser can use the chrootuid command.
SEE ALSO
chroot(8), su(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems are reported to the syslog daemon.
