chroot issues

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Russell,
I referring to the input files,  when argus reads its input from a  
pcap formatted file.
My assumption is that you won't chroot if you're reading a packet  
dump, but you
never know what people will do ;o)

Can these packet input files be outside the chroot'd directory?
I'll open the output files after the chroot and change in uid and gid.
