chroot is not a security tool

Hi,

Thanks for great (as always) tutorial. Unfortunately I can't agree with your statement "With mod_chroot, you can run Apache2 in a secure chroot environment [..]". Chroot is not a security tool, you can rely on it in terms of security. It wasn't designed with security purposes in mind, so it's behavior can change without notice ;)
