Hi, I posted a question about preventing people from browsing the local harddrive with a web browser. I was told to run the browser in a chrooted environment. How do I set this up? If possible, I would like to run only the browser (Phoenix 0.5) in the chrooted environment. Thanks in advance.

Here is an article about how to create a "Jail" and run applications on it, so they don't have access to the rest of the system. This article does not explain exactly what you are trying to do, but with techniques explained there I think you'll be able to do it.

Grrr....it's not available yet in the internet. I just read that article a month ago. Check here to see if it's now available

I read it in the hard copy. Maybe you can get a copy from the bookstore. The article is Go Directly to Jail.
