About:
chroot_safe is a alternative method for chrooting dynamically linked applications in a sane and safe manner. By using a little dynamic linking trick it delays the chrooting until after dynamic linking has completed, thereby eleminating the need to have a copy of the binary or libraries within the chroot. This greatly simplifies the process of chrooting an application, as you often do not need any files besides the data files within the chroot. In addition to chrooting the application, it also drops root privileges before allowing the application to start.
