 Actually, there is an option to enable chroot for mldonkey.
 
-I decide not to use it for many reasons:
-- running the daemon under a different ID is safer than chrooting
-- chrooting doesn't cooperate well with chuid...
-
-Browsing the code of mldonkey, lead me to one conclusion: the creation of
-*.ini file is erratic. If you try to make chuid && chroot, you will need to
-start the daemon as root, it will create some file owned by root, then you
-chroot, then you try to chuid. So it needs to have a etc/passwd in the chroot,
-we need to check file permission after start...
-
-So it is a lot of bug to correct. There is bugreport about this situation for
-mldonkey:
-http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&group_id=1409&bug_id=3969
-
-For now, i prefer to use mldonkey-server to start mlnet. Mldonkey server
-has a lot of very good reason to be use:
-- the code is very simple and short
-- it handle only start/stop and chuid of another process
-- it doesn't open/read/write anything before chuid
-
-Moreover, the code is from me ;->.
-
-I think this method is reasonnably secure to run mlnet. I will keep it, until
-someone provide a good solution for mldonkey chrooting.

 Mick Kappenburg has created a script to create chroot for mldonkey. For now
 this script need more extensive testing, but i think it could be use to run
 more safely mldonkey.
-
-If this scripts works well enough, he will probably be integrated in the daemon
-start-stop script of mldonkey-server.
