script knowing a chrooted user

szacks · 02-02-2011, 08:23 AM

If someone has physical access to a machine, they can boot up with a live cd and chroot in to the filesystem as root.

1) Is there any way of a bash script script knowing if the computer was booted regularly or if it was chrooted into?

2) Is there a way to have a script run automatically when the user chroots in?

Hello,

Just a correction: if someone has physical access to the machine, he won't waste time to boot on a live cd, he will directly boot into single user mode and directly get root credentials.
About your questions 1) and 2): not to my knowledge... but my knowledge are quite limited
