what I am meaning by this question is that I have several machines where
aprocess is started chrooted from inetd. in order for the dhroot to
succeed the uid must be root. the process is now running as root and
unless it explicitly changes it's own uid, it sounds as if I am wasting my
time by doing the chroot. If all the software I run was written well
enough to change it's own uid I would have less of a need to put it in a
chroot sandbox.
