Oh, and then
settrans --chroot rm -rf / -- /tmp/untrusted /hurd/safety
with a wrapper script "safety" like for fakeroot?
Sounds like a pattern :)
I think the only headache would be filesystems that refuse to go away
easily. Maybe that's something the -f option could do: if the node is
translated (assuming you see this, for example because of the safety
translator above), then try to get rid off the translator as hard as
possible, like the -f flag on settrans).
Which reminds me, there are still some translators in the Hurd that don't
obey to the standard rules for this (mostly obscure specialised
translators), that's also a nice job for new Hurd hackers to fix.
Thanks,
Marcus
