    OK, I am working with Solaris 9, and chroot'ing applications.

    I have an app that is chroot'd, and I have another non-chroot'd app that
    needs to talk to it.

    The chroot'd app opens sockets in /tmp (or /jail/tmp to those outside).

    The non-chroot'd app looks in /tmp for the socket (it doesn't know about
    /jail/tmp).

    What would be the downside of mounting /jail/tmp on swap with the appropiate
    permissions, and then removing /tmp and doing a ln -s /jail/tmp /tmp to
    recreate it?

    What would break? Everything should follow the link, right?

    -Andrew
