Makes life a lot harder for those trying to exploit any such vulnerability. Note: Squid isn't installed in a chroot, instead it's told to chroot itself to a folder containing only the few things Squid need to access while running. The Squid binary itself lives outside the chroot, but all filesystem access is confined to the chroot folder and all extra privileges is dropped down to the bare minimum. Regards Henrik
