multiple clients requiring different chroots...

[David Van Assche]

Hi there,
   I'm still stuck with this... I really need to be able to run 2 chroots
from the same server... as the fglrx based xorg containing chroot is also
doing fat clients (as described in another post, --kiosk implementation
using ldap as auth.) If anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong, it would
be much appreciated...

Kind Regards,
David Van Assche
