I second that! I'm trying to use the daemontools to run mldonkey and if it was 
possible to run it in a chrooted environment as a non-root user I would have to 
worry less about the security of my system.

Summary:  WISHLIST: run mldonkey in chrooted Environment

Original Submission:  I have a small wish: Can mldonkey have 2 command 
switches. One for chrooting to a given directory, the second: a userid it 
should suid to. 

This would be a very nice to have feature, because then I could run mldonkey in 
a non-root but chrooted environment. I know, that mldonkey would have to be 
installed suid root then, but it should immediatly drop it's priviledges (just 
like bind does).

Thanks
