How to masquerade a file path as another in Linux
I want to have the file path /var/test appear as /root for the user test123. I don't want them to actually be in the root directory but I want it to appear as being in /root so that they can't tell without prying under the hood a little. I would set it as their home directory and create a whole directory structure under that. The overall idea is to have something similar to a chroot jail.
I can't find any information on masquerading directory names based on the user logged in or anything similar, does anyone else have any suggestions?
