Well, it was more of a theoretical "sure". And anyway, you seem to have missed |
| 2 |
the "can chroot" part of my reply. Normal users cannot chroot under "normal" |
| 3 |
setups. Also, your user would need to be able to create arbitrary bind mounts. |

Currently, the check that generates that error just checks the current UID and |
| 6 |
bombs if it's anything other than 0 (root). I'm sure if somebody (how about |
| 7 |
you?) contributed code to query the kernel for certain abilities (like |
| 8 |
chrooting), the catalyst developers would be more than happy to add it in to |
| 9 |
allow non-root catalyst use where the user has the necessary abilities. |
