trick-chroot1
Usage
trick-chroot [--libpath
directory]
rootdir
[command]
Overview
By setting the VPATH environment variable appropiratly, and setting LD_PRELOAD to libtricks(1) the mentioned library will create an environment where the root directory will seem to be that of the first argument
trick-chroot provides a lot less security than the real (kernel) chroot, but please note that root can easily break out of a real chroot shell too. Neigther this trick-chroot nor the real chroot should be considered `safe'.
The main purpose of this script is to show an example of how to work with libtricks(1) .
Note btw that, as the dynamic linker (/lib/ld.so-linux) is statically linked, it will search the libraries in the real root, not in this chroot environment. So, you don't have to populate ${CHROOT}/lib.
Options
-
--libpath path -
