I have tried to perform a chroot() as follows:

chroot("/Users/Test/apps");

This should work and yet it fails with a -1 error (which says I have a privileges problem). I have full access to this directory and all its resources. The chroot() will only run if I am logged in as root.

Does anyone know of any problems or quirks of chroot() on Mac OS X?

The man page for chroot says

"This call is restricted to the super-user."
