.Okay, here is the deal.. I tried creating an account for my dialin UNIX system
.that did a "chroot" to the users home directory, just to be safe for now until
.I get everything set up. Kept getting a message saying "Operation not
.permitted". I created the file like this...

.Filename: ~guest/bin/go.home
./usr/sbin/chroot /home/guest/guest
.
.chown root.wheel ~guest/bin/go.home
.chmod 4755 ~guest/bin/go.home
you get "Operation not permitted" from *what*?
what are the contents of "go.home"? is it a binary?
(i hope so; setuid shell scripts are currently disallowed
for security reasons, in both 386bsd and NetBSD.)
i'd like to look at the source...
