Once upon a time, Michael Holstein <michael.holstein@xxxxxxxxxxx> said:
if you're chrooted under /tmp (as it sounds from your email) you're out
of luck, unless you have a way to escape the chroot due to a
misconfiguration of that environment in the first place.
If you are root, chroot is easy to break (that's why chroot is not
secure for root-owned processes).
