I have recently adopted systrace as a "better chroot". I find it is easier to
set up a new service under systrace than both chroot and selinux. Unlike
chroot, it is easy to disable systrace briefly if you suspect the security
hardening may be causing a problem.
Another advantage is that systrace is available to non-root users. That makes
it easier to prototype policies.
