What are the dangers posed by someone gaining root access, as through a
trojaned ftpd, in a _chrooted_ environment, assuming that the environment
gets chrooted before there's any chance of compromise?  Granted, you
don't want strangers enabled to wreak havoc with your ftp heirarchy
(and planting _more_ trojans), but what kind of threats can be posed
to the rest of the system from such a toehold?
