I've implemented login chroots and tested them to some degree.  Thanks
to Ken Arnold for his prototype work, which I referenced frequently.

Our cluster machine install process will have to ensure that the root
volume is a logical volume on a volume group with at least 21GB free.
(Each snapshot has a 10G backing store, and there are up to two
snapshots around at a time.)

debathena-auto-update can still operate without login chroot
functionality installed.  If installed alone, it will perform updates
without regard to whether anyone is logged in.
