What do you hope to accomplish with this? You are NOT adding any security to your system by using a cygwin chroot, because you do not have operating system support (that is, an application can escape the jail by using native Windows commands). chroot exists to ease porting some programs (such as coreutils), but is NOT a solution for security that you seem to think it is. > > -is there a canonical way to do this? > (and where is the manual :-)) There is no manual for chroot on cygwin, because no one here recommends doing it for anything serious. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
