Let's say you have a server/daemon application written in python that accepts incoming SSL connections.
You want to run that application in a chroot jail. The last thing you want in that jail is your SSL certificate private key file. But, it appears the ssl module won't accept SSL certificates and keys as data strings, or as stringio file objects. It will only accept a filename, and it has to open/read that file every time a connection is accepted. So how do you avoid having your certificate key file sitting, readable, in the chroot jail? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
