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.
