That's the kind of solution I was hoping someone has developed enough to
iron out those major security issues (e.g. letting GDM do the chroot
before it changes its UID to that of the user).
Also, I have the impression that in the distant past (i.e. for TTY
logins) there was a way to setup users such that they would be put into
a chroot jail. It's probably my memory playing tricks on me, tho.
