There are sites on this machine that we've had since 2000, and that  
were running on various insecure os' from there before we made the  
move to OpenBSD.  I suspect that it would be a medium/large sized  
task to make these sites work under chroot, as well as reorganise the  
user home folders to fit in with this.

On the other hand, getting my server pwn3d (again) is even more of a  
ballache.  Time to book in some configuration time...
