This was during the time of extreme security paranoia. Chroot
(under sysVr3.1 on a 3b2) worked out quite well, including
a complete seperate set of /dev entries, links to most /usr stuff
(/bin and /etc stuff had to be duplicated). A number of programs
were modified to work across the chroot partitions, including
the conferencing system, and the party program. Email was
strictly within the chrooted area.
It was finally removed due to other policy decisions, not because
of unworkability.
