Quick patch to chroot eggdrop -- all you should have to do is edit src/chroot.h properly. Also, you have to setup your /chroot directory with the proper libs and such that eggdrop requires.

well, there's 2 ways to do it. first way is to start the bot within a chrooted shell (ie /bin/sh chroots to somewhere first). as long as the bot is compiled statically it should work (though it might need access to a /dev/null and /dev/zero relative to its chroot dir).
the second way is more interesting. it involves you starting the bot as a root process (which means you gotta remove the check that prevents this), then get it to call chroot() and then setuid() so it ain't running as root anymore.

Yup -- I've done it a few times .. long as you know a bit of c it can be done very easily. It is possible to run pretty much every program in a chroot jail.

I'll look later to see if I still have the .diff I made of my changes.
