separating its part around chroot(2) from that around initial
chdir(2). This makes the below changes really easy.
Move seteuid(to user's uid) to before calling chdir(2). There are
two goals to achieve by that. First, NFS mounted home directories
with restrictive permissions become accessible (local superuser
can't access them if not mapped to uid 0 on the remote side
explicitly.) Second, all the permissions to the home directory
pathname components become effective; previously a user could be
carried to any local directory despite its permissions since the
chdir(2) was done with euid 0. This reduces possible impact from
FTP server misconfiguration, e.g., assigning a wrong home directory
to a user.
Implement the "/./" feature. Now a guest or user subject to chrooting
may have "/./" in his login directory, which separates his chroot
directory from his home directory inside the chrooted environment.
This works for ftpchroot(5) as well.
