FreeBSD security : chrootuid

A simple wrapper that combines chroot(8) and su(1) into one program

 The chrootuid command combines chroot(8) and su(1) into one program,
so that there is no need to have commands such as /usr/bin/su in the
restricted environment.  Access to the file system is restricted to
the newroot subtree and privileges are restricted to those of the
newuser account (which must be a known account in the unrestricted
environment).

See also jail(8) in FreeBSD 4.0.
