Chroot appeared during the development of 7th edition Unix. The FreeBSD jail documents, incorrectly, that Bill Joy added this to 4.2BSD on 18 March 1982. That was when Bill Joy converted from a statically coded system call glue to dynamically generated assembler. Chroot was present in 32V, 3BSD, 4.0BSD, 4.1BSD and 4.1cBSD well in advance of this. Kirk McKusick agrees with this analysis.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.
