is service chrooted?

hi,
how can I see if a service is running chroot?
if a ps -eff shows a "chroot parameter" with the service?

does it depends on distro?

thx

One way is to use lsof -p <pid> and see what the rtd file descriptor is set to. This is the root directory of the process.

ok, e.g.:

Code:

#lsof -p <pid>|grep rtd
named   <pid> named  rtd    DIR        8,6    4096 2281827 /var/named/chroot

thats all? ;-)

is the dir-name always ..../servicename/chroot ???
